Troubleshooting

Light does not turn on

Ensure the power supply is on, the bulb is correctly screwed in and not burnt out, and check the wiring connections if comfortable doing so (or contact an electrician).

Flickering light

This could be due to a loose bulb, a faulty bulb, or an issue with the wiring or switch. Check the bulb first, then consult an electrician.

Shade appears discolored or dirty

Clean the bone china shade gently with a soft, slightly damp cloth. Avoid harsh chemicals.

Metalwork tarnishing

Use a specialized brass cleaner for satin brass finishes, following product instructions carefully. Regular dusting can help prevent excessive tarnish.
