Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup
Setting up your Happy Homewares Feather Decorated Pendant Light Shade is straightforward as it's designed to attach to your existing pendant fitting.
- Unpack Carefully: Remove the shade from its packaging, being mindful not to crush the feathers.
- Fluff Feathers: Using a hairdryer on a cold setting, gently fluff the natural feathers to restore their full, elegant appearance. Aim the cool air at the feathers from a short distance and work your way around the shade.
- Attach Reducer Ring: If your lamp base requires it, install the included shade reducer ring into the shade's central opening. This ring adapts the shade to smaller bulb holders.
- Install Shade: Carefully lift the shade and align the central opening with the lamp holder of your existing ceiling pendant fitting. Secure it in place according to your pendant fitting's specific mechanism, usually by screwing on a collar or ring.
- Insert Bulb: Ensure your light bulb (not included) does not exceed the maximum recommended wattage of 40w. Insert the bulb into the lamp holder.
Compatibility
This pendant shade is highly compatible, featuring a shade reducer ring that allows it to fit most standard lamp bases:
- B22/BC (Bayonet Cap)
- E14/SES (Small Edison Screw)
- E27/ES (Edison Screw)
Please note that the ceiling rose, electrical cable, and light bulb are *not included* and must be purchased separately or already present in your fitting.
Care
To maintain the beauty and longevity of your feather pendant shade:
- Dusting: Gently dust the feathers with a soft, dry cloth or a feather duster. Avoid harsh cleaners.
- Re-fluffing: If feathers become compressed over time, use a hairdryer on a cold setting to gently re-fluff them.
- Cleaning: Do not wash or immerse the shade in water. Spot clean any marks on the frame gently with a slightly damp cloth.
- Handle with Care: As natural feathers are delicate, handle the shade carefully during cleaning and relocation.
