Product Information

Full details

This 40cm tapered grey lamp shade, made from faux silk, is designed for homeowners looking to add a sophisticated and warm glow to their living areas, bedrooms, or hallways. Its key benefit is its versatility, allowing it to be used as a pendant, table, or floor lamp thanks to a reversible gimble. A potential caveat is that the shade itself does not include a light source or fitting, requiring separate purchase.

FAQs

What size is this lamp shade?

The shade has a diameter of 40cm at its widest point.

Can I use this shade with any type of light bulb?

It is compatible with most standard bulb types (LED, incandescent, halogen), but you must ensure the bulb wattage does not exceed the maximum recommended for your specific lamp fitting to prevent overheating.

Does this shade come with a lamp base or pendant fitting?

No, this product is the shade only. You will need to provide your own lamp base or pendant fitting and bulb.

How do I clean the faux silk fabric?

Gently dust with a soft, dry cloth. For stains, use a slightly damp cloth and allow to air dry completely. Avoid harsh chemicals or excessive water.

What does 'reversible gimble' mean?

A reversible gimble means the shade can be oriented in two ways: facing up to attach to a pendant light cord, or facing down to attach to a standard harp and finial on a table or floor lamp.

What is the color of the shade?

The shade is a charcoal grey color.

Can this shade be used outdoors?

This shade is designed for indoor use only and should not be exposed to moisture or extreme temperatures.

Troubleshooting

Shade does not fit fixture

Verify that the lamp fixture has a compatible shade ring and that the shade's gimble size matches the fixture. Ensure the shade is oriented correctly for the fixture type (pendant vs. lamp base).

Uneven light diffusion

Check that the bulb is centered within the shade and that the bulb wattage does not exceed the recommended maximum for the fixture. Ensure the shade is clean and free of dust.

Fabric appears creased or damaged

Handle the shade with care. For minor creases, a very gentle steaming from a distance (do not let the shade touch the steamer) may help. For damage, spot cleaning with a damp cloth is recommended for light marks.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Versatile application as pendant, table, or floor lamp shade.
  • Luxurious faux silk material with elegant pleating.
  • Sophisticated charcoal grey color complements most interiors.
  • Diffuses light to create a warm and inviting atmosphere.
  • Easy to install and update existing lamp bases or ceiling fixtures.

Cons

  • Does not include a light source or lamp base.
  • Requires a separate purchase of a bulb and fitting.
  • Faux silk may require careful cleaning to maintain appearance.
  • Tapered design might not suit all lamp base styles.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup: This shade is designed to be fitted onto existing lamp bases or pendant light fittings. Ensure you have the correct bulb type and wattage for your fixture. The reversible gimble allows it to attach either facing upwards for pendant lights or downwards for table/floor lamps. Always ensure the power is switched off at the mains before attempting to install or change the shade.

Compatibility: The shade is compatible with standard UK/EU bulb holders and pendant fittings. It can be used with table lamps and floor lamps that have a suitable shade ring attachment. Please check the dimensions (40cm width) to ensure it fits your intended lamp base or ceiling fixture.

Care: To clean, gently dust with a soft, dry cloth. For more persistent marks, use a slightly damp cloth and allow the shade to air dry completely before use. Avoid using abrasive cleaners or excessive moisture, as this can damage the faux silk fabric.
