FAQs
Do I need to wire these shades?
No, these are "Easy Fit" shades designed to be installed without any wiring. They attach directly to your existing light fitting.
What type of bulbs can I use?
You can use B22 BC or E27 ES bulbs, with a maximum wattage of 60W per bulb. They are compatible with LED, dimmable, and most smart bulbs.
How do I know if my bulb will fit?
You need to check that the length of your bulb does not exceed the 16cm height of the shade and that the bulb base (B22 or E27) matches your light fitting. The bulb should not protrude beyond the shade.
Can I use these shades with a dimmer switch?
Yes, as long as you use the shades with a dimmable bulb and a compatible dimmer switch.
What are the exact dimensions of the shades?
Each shade has a diameter of 25cm and a height of 16cm.
Are these shades suitable for all rooms?
Yes, they are suitable for bedrooms, dining rooms, guest rooms, hallways, kitchens, living rooms, and porches.
How many shades are included in a set?
Each purchase includes a set of two shades.
Troubleshooting
Shade does not fit securely.
Ensure you are using the correct bulb fitting (B22 or E27) and that the shade is designed to clip or screw onto that specific fitting. Check if the bulb is too long and interfering with the shade's seating.
Light appears uneven or too bright/dim.
The light appearance depends on the bulb used. Try a different wattage bulb (up to 60W) or a different type of bulb (e.g., frosted vs. clear, warm vs. cool white). If using a dimmable or smart bulb, ensure it is compatible with your dimmer switch or smart home system.
Shade arrived damaged.
Contact the retailer immediately with proof of purchase and photographic evidence of the damage for a replacement or refund.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup: The "Easy Fit" design means these shades attach directly to your existing light fitting, typically by screwing onto the bulb holder. Ensure the power is switched off at the mains before attempting installation. Insert your chosen bulb (B22 BC or E27 ES, max 60W) into the fitting, then place the shade over it, securing it according to the specific mechanism of your light fixture (often a clip or a screw-fit onto the bulb holder).
Compatibility: These shades are compatible with most standard B22 Bayonet Cap and E27 Edison Screw bulb fittings. They work well with LED bulbs and can be used with dimmable bulbs and compatible dimmer switches for adjustable lighting. They are also compatible with most domestic smart light bulbs. Crucially, always check the length of your chosen bulb against the shade's dimensions (16cm height) to ensure a proper fit.
Care: To clean, switch off the light and allow the shade to cool completely. Wipe gently with a dry or slightly damp soft cloth. Avoid abrasive cleaners or excessive moisture, as this may damage the material.
