FAQs

What is included with the Rufus Paper Ball Shade?

The product includes the 80cm white paper ball shade and its internal wire harp fitting. The light bulb and flex pendant cable are sold separately.

What type of bulb should I use?

The shade is compatible with standard E27 screw bulbs. LED bulbs are recommended for energy efficiency and to minimize heat output.

How do I clean the paper shade?

Dust regularly with a soft, dry cloth. For marks, use a *slightly* damp cloth and wipe gently. Avoid harsh chemicals or excessive water.

Can I use this shade outdoors?

No, this shade is designed for indoor use only. The paper material is not weather-resistant.

What are the dimensions of the shade?

The dimensions are H80cm x Dia80cm (Height 80cm, Diameter 80cm).

Is assembly difficult?

The shade features an easy-fit harp fitting, making assembly relatively straightforward. However, depending on the specific flex pendant cable used, some basic electrical connection knowledge might be beneficial.

What is the main benefit of the horizontal band design?

The horizontal bands add subtle texture and visual interest to the otherwise smooth spherical shape, enhancing its modern aesthetic.

Troubleshooting

Shade does not fit securely

Ensure the internal wire harp is correctly assembled and tightened. Check that the shade is seated properly on the harp's arms.

Uneven lighting or shadows

Verify that the light bulb is centered within the shade and is not touching the paper. Ensure the bulb wattage is appropriate for the shade.

Paper material seems delicate

Handle the shade with clean hands and avoid applying pressure. Use only a soft cloth for cleaning and avoid abrasive materials.

Missing parts for assembly

Check the product packaging thoroughly. If parts are genuinely missing, contact the retailer for assistance.
