FAQs

Is a light bulb included with the Happy Homewares Lamp Shade?

No, a light bulb is not included with the lamp shade. You will need to purchase one separately.

What type of light bulb can I use with this shade?

You can use any type of light bulb (LED, CFL, incandescent) as long as its wattage does not exceed the maximum limit of 11W.

Can this lamp shade be used on both ceiling pendants and table lamps?

Yes, absolutely! The lamp shade is equipped with a reversible gimbal, allowing it to be used as either a hanging pendant light shade or an upright shade for table and floor lamps.

How do I clean the velvet and embroidered parts of the lamp shade?

Gently dust the lamp shade with a soft, dry microfibre cloth or a soft brush. Avoid using water or chemical cleaners, as these can damage the delicate fabrics and trims.

What are the exact dimensions of the lamp shade?

The lamp shade has a height of 20cm (excluding tassels) and a diameter of 36cm.

What colors are present in the lamp shade's design?

The main velvet fabric is a soft blue, adorned with emerald green floral accents and birds. It features emerald green handmade embroidered trims and decorative emerald and nova blue tassels.

What is the purpose of the reducer ring?

The reducer ring is included to ensure universal compatibility. It allows the lamp shade to fit various common light fittings such as B22/BC, E14/SES, and E27/ES securely.

Troubleshooting

Lamp shade appears crooked or wobbly after installation.

Ensure the gimbal is securely fastened to your light fitting. If using a reducer ring, verify it is correctly seated and fully engaged with both the shade's gimbal and the lamp holder. Gently adjust the shade until it hangs or sits evenly.

The lamp shade doesn't fit my light fitting (too loose or too tight).

Confirm you are using the correct setup for your fitting. The shade comes with a reducer ring to accommodate different sizes (B22/BC, E14/SES, E27/ES). If too loose, ensure the reducer ring is inserted. If too tight, confirm your fitting type matches the supported sizes.

Light output is too dim or not as expected.

Check the wattage of your light bulb. The lamp shade has a maximum wattage limit of 11W. Ensure your bulb is within this limit. Note that the faux silk lining and fabric exterior are designed for ambient light diffusion, which inherently reduces overall brightness compared to a bare bulb.

Tassels or embroidery appear damaged or loose.

Handle the lamp shade with care to prevent damage to delicate elements. If a tassel or thread comes loose, it may be possible to carefully re-secure it with a small amount of fabric glue, but generally, avoiding rough handling is key.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup

The reversible gimbal makes setting up your Happy Homewares Lamp Shade straightforward, whether for a pendant or a lamp base.

  1. For Pendant Lights: Orient the shade so the wider opening faces downwards. The reversible gimbal will naturally sit above the opening. Screw the pendant fitting through the gimbal. If your light fitting is smaller than the gimbal's standard hole, insert the included reducer ring into the gimbal to ensure a snug fit.
  2. For Table/Floor Lamps: Orient the shade so the wider opening faces upwards. The reversible gimbal will sit below the opening. Place the shade onto your lamp base's fitting. If needed, use the reducer ring to secure it properly for smaller lamp holders.

Compatibility

  • Light Fittings: Fully compatible with common light fittings: B22/BC, E14/SES, and E27/ES, thanks to the included reducer ring.
  • Wattage: Only use a light bulb with a maximum wattage of 11W. Using a higher wattage bulb can pose a fire hazard and damage the shade.
  • Bulb Type: While the bulb is not included, any type of bulb (LED, CFL, incandescent) can be used as long as it adheres to the 11W maximum.

Care

To maintain the beauty and longevity of your lamp shade, follow these care guidelines:

  • Dusting: Gently dust the velvet fabric, embroidered trims, and tassels regularly with a soft, dry microfibre cloth or a soft brush. Avoid abrasive materials.
  • Stain Removal: For any minor marks, carefully blot with a slightly damp cloth using only water. Do not rub aggressively. Avoid using chemical cleaners, as they may damage the velvet or faux silk lining.
  • Avoid Moisture: Keep the lamp shade away from excessive moisture or humidity to prevent damage to the fabric and trims.
  • Handling: When moving or adjusting the shade, handle it by the metal frame to avoid putting stress on the fabric or decorative elements.
