FAQs

What does 'Easy Fit' mean?

Easy Fit means the lamp shade is designed for quick and simple installation onto existing standard lamp holders (pendants or lamp bases) without requiring any electrical rewiring or specialized tools. You simply attach it to your current light fitting.

Can I use this shade on a table lamp?

Yes, the Rae Pleated Stripe Drum Lamp Shade is versatile and designed to be used on both ceiling pendant light fixtures and most standard table lamp bases, provided they have a compatible easy-fit mechanism.

What material is the lamp shade made from?

The lamp shade is crafted from a fabric material, featuring a pleated design and a colour-matched inner lining.

How do I clean the pleated fabric?

For routine cleaning, gently dust the shade with a soft, dry cloth or feather duster. For light marks, wipe carefully with a lightly damp cloth. Avoid harsh chemicals.

Is the cream color exactly as pictured?

The cream color is described with soft stripes of sage, clay, and sand, giving it an earthy tone. Due to monitor differences, slight variations in appearance may occur, but it generally presents as a warm, neutral cream with subtle accent stripes.

Does it come with a light bulb?

No, the Rae Pleated Stripe Drum Easy Fit Lamp Shade does not include a light bulb. You will need to purchase a suitable bulb separately, ideally an LED bulb to maximize energy efficiency and minimize heat.

What sizes are available?

The Rae Pleated Stripe Drum Lamp Shade is available in both small and large sizes to accommodate different lighting needs and room dimensions.

Troubleshooting

Shade appears crooked after installation.

Gently rotate and adjust the shade on the lamp holder until it sits evenly. Ensure the fitting is securely tightened but not forced.

Difficulty attaching the easy-fit mechanism.

Ensure you are aligning the shade's fitting correctly with the lamp holder's ring or clips. If it's a screw-on type, check for cross-threading. If it's a clip-on, apply even pressure.

Light output seems too dim or uneven.

Check the wattage and lumen output of your bulb. The pleated design naturally diffuses light; consider a higher lumen LED bulb if more brightness is desired. Also, ensure the inner lining is clean.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup Instructions

The Rae Pleated Shade features an easy-fit design, meaning it can be quickly installed onto most standard existing lamp holders (pendants or lamp bases) without electrical rewiring.

  1. Turn off power: Always ensure the power supply to your light fixture is switched off at the mains before installation.
  2. Remove old shade (if applicable): Carefully detach any existing lamp shade.
  3. Align with lamp holder: Position the Rae shade's fitting over your lamp holder. The easy-fit mechanism typically involves a ring that screws onto the lamp holder's base or clips securely into place.
  4. Secure the shade: Fasten the shade firmly but gently. Do not overtighten.
  5. Restore power: Once secure, switch the power back on.

Compatibility

  • Fitting Type: Designed for easy-fit lamp holders, compatible with standard pendant light fittings and most table lamp bases that use a similar mechanism.
  • Bulb Type: Use LED bulbs for energy efficiency and to prevent excessive heat buildup, which can affect the shade's material over time. Ensure the bulb wattage does not exceed the maximum recommended for your lamp holder.
  • Size: Available in small or large to fit various lamp bases and room sizes. Measure your existing lamp base or consider the room size for ceiling fixtures to choose the appropriate size.

Care Instructions

  • Dusting: Regularly dust the shade with a soft, dry cloth or a feather duster to prevent dust accumulation in the pleats.
  • Cleaning: For more stubborn marks, gently wipe with a lightly damp cloth. Avoid using harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners, as these can damage the fabric and color.
  • Stain Removal: Spot clean any stains immediately using a mild, diluted fabric cleaner on a clean white cloth. Test on an inconspicuous area first.
  • Storage: If storing, keep the shade in a dry, cool place away from direct sunlight to prevent fading and maintain its shape.
