Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup
Installing your Rosette Scalloped Flamingo Fabric Lamp Shade is straightforward due to its reversible gimbal. This allows the fitting to be oriented for either an upright floor lamp or an inverted ceiling pendant.
- Ensure Power is Off: Before starting, always switch off the power to the light fitting at the mains or unplug the lamp from the wall socket.
- Remove Existing Shade (if any): Carefully detach any old lamp shade by unscrewing its shade ring.
- Position the Gimbal: Determine if you are attaching it to a floor lamp (gimbal facing up) or a ceiling pendant (gimbal facing down). The Rosette shade's fitting is designed to be flipped to accommodate both orientations.
- Attach the Shade: Align the lamp holder with the central ring of the gimbal and secure it using the shade ring or collar provided with your lamp fitting. Ensure it's hand-tightened but not overtightened.
Compatibility
This lamp shade is designed for standard E27 or B22 lamp holders (Info needed: confirm exact fitting type if not universal, assuming common sizes). The reversible gimbal offers broad compatibility with most existing floor lamp bases and ceiling pendant sets. Its dimensions (30cm width, 18cm height) are suitable for a wide range of room sizes and lamp styles. Always ensure the chosen bulb does not exceed the lamp fitting's maximum wattage rating.
Care
To maintain the beauty and longevity of your Rosette lamp shade, follow these simple care instructions:
- Dusting: Regularly dust the fabric shade and tassels with a soft, dry cloth or a feather duster to prevent dust buildup.
- Spot Cleaning: For any specific marks on the fabric, gently blot the area with a slightly damp cloth. Avoid rubbing vigorously, which can damage the fabric or color. Do not use harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners.
- Avoid Moisture: Keep the lamp shade away from excessive moisture or direct water exposure. It is intended for indoor use only.
