FAQs
Do I need an electrician to install these shades?
No, these are easy-fit pendant shades designed for simple installation directly onto an existing pendant lampholder without any wiring.
What type of bulbs should I use?
You can use up to 2 x 60W Max B22 BC or E27 ES bulbs. They are compatible with LED bulbs and can be used with dimmable bulbs for adjustable lighting. Always check bulb length suitability.
Are these shades dimmable?
The shades themselves are not dimmable, but they are compatible with dimmable bulbs. If you pair them with a dimmable bulb and a compatible dimmer switch, you can achieve dimmable lighting.
What are the dimensions of each shade?
Each shade has a height of 16 cm and a diameter of 26 cm.
Can I use smart bulbs with these shades?
Yes, these shades are compatible with most domestic smart light bulbs, allowing you to integrate them into your smart home lighting system.
How do I clean the shades?
Gently dust with a soft, dry cloth. For tougher marks, use a slightly damp cloth and let it air dry completely.
What is included in the set?
The set includes two Benni pendant shades in beige.
Troubleshooting
Shade does not fit securely on the lampholder.
Ensure you are using the correct retaining ring that came with your pendant lampholder and that it is screwed in fully and straight.
Shade appears crooked or uneven.
Check that the shade is centered on the lampholder and that the retaining ring is tightened evenly. Adjust as necessary.
Light is not as expected (e.g., too harsh, not dimmable).
Verify that you are using a compatible bulb type (e.g., dimmable bulb for dimming function, LED for efficiency) and that the bulb wattage does not exceed the 60W maximum.
Shade wobbles when the light is on.
Re-check the security of the retaining ring and ensure the shade is seated correctly on the lampholder. Make sure the bulb is not too long and is protruding beyond the shade.
