FAQs

Does this shade come with a light bulb?

No, the shade does not include a light bulb or a cord set.

Can I use this with any cord set?

It is designed to be compatible with most standard pendant lighting cord sets, but ensure the fixture diameter matches the shade's opening.

Is the beige color natural or dyed?

The beige color is a soft, natural tone intended to mimic the warmth of traditional paper lighting.

How do I clean dust off the rice paper?

Use a soft, dry duster or a very light brush to gently sweep dust from the surface.

Is this shade suitable for a bathroom?

No, high humidity can cause the rice paper to soften or warp over time.

What is the material made of?

The shade is made from high-quality, lightweight rice paper stretched over a wire frame.

Troubleshooting

Shade appears crooked when hung

Gently adjust the internal wire frame to balance the weight distribution or verify that the pendant cord is hanging perfectly vertical from the ceiling hook.

Light is too bright or harsh

Replace the current light bulb with one that has a lower lumen output or a warmer color temperature to better suit the diffusion properties of the rice paper.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To install, ensure you have a standard ceiling pendant cord set that fits your electrical outlet. The shade features an internal frame designed to hook securely onto standard light fixtures. When assembling, handle the paper shell gently to avoid tears or creases. To maintain the shade, use a soft, dry duster to remove surface dust. Avoid using any liquid cleaners or water, as moisture can damage the structural integrity of the paper.
