Troubleshooting
Shade does not fit securely
Check that the shade is correctly aligned with the existing pendant fitting and that no obstructions are present. Ensure you are using the correct bulb holder type (B22 or E27).
Light flickers or is unstable

Shade appears to touch the bulb
Immediately switch off the power. Use a shorter bulb or ensure the current bulb is within the recommended length specification for the shade.
