FAQs

What type of bulb should I use with this lamp shade?

You should use a light bulb with a maximum wattage of 11w. LED bulbs are highly recommended for efficiency and to stay within the wattage limit.

Is the shade suitable for outdoor use?

No, this lamp shade is designed for indoor use only due to its fabric construction and electrical compatibility requirements.

How do I reverse the gimbal for different lamp types?

The gimbal can typically be flipped over within the shade's frame. Simply detach the shade from the lamp, carefully turn the inner gimbal mechanism to the desired orientation (for pendant or upright lamp), and re-attach.

Will this shade fit my antique lamp?

The shade is compatible with common fittings including B22/BC, E14/SES, and E27/ES. If your antique lamp uses one of these, it should fit. It is always recommended to measure your fitting to confirm compatibility.

How do I clean the velvet and tassels?

Dust gently with a soft, dry cloth or a lint roller. For marks, dab with a slightly damp cloth. Avoid harsh chemicals and excessive rubbing on the velvet.

Does the pink color look exactly like the product images?

While we strive for accurate representation, colors may vary slightly due to individual screen settings and different lighting conditions in your home.

Troubleshooting

Shade doesn't fit my lamp base or pendant.

Ensure you are using the included shade reducer ring if your lamp fitting is one of the smaller compatible sizes (B22/BC, E14/SES). If it's still too large, check your lamp fitting's specifications against the shade's compatibility.

Shade appears wobbly or uneven when installed.

Verify the gimbal is correctly seated and tightened on your lamp fitting. For pendant use, ensure the shade hangs freely without obstruction. For table/floor lamps, ensure the lamp base is stable on a flat surface.

The tassels appear tangled or creased.

Gently smooth the tassels by hand. For persistent creases, you can carefully use a low-heat garment steamer from a safe distance, avoiding direct contact with the velvet.

Light emitted seems too dim.

This shade has a maximum wattage limit of 11w. Ensure you are using a bulb that is 11w or less. Consider using an LED bulb within this wattage for optimal brightness and energy efficiency.

Setup, Compatibility & Care InstructionsInstallation is straightforward. For pendant lights, ensure the gimbal is oriented for hanging, then secure it to your existing light fitting. For table or floor lamps, orient the gimbal to rest on the lamp base. The included shade reducer ring should be used if your lamp fitting is smaller than the shade's main ring. Simply insert the reducer ring into the shade's fitting before attaching to your lamp base or pendant.This shade is designed to fit most common pendant light fittings and lamp bases, including B22/BC, E14/SES, and E27/ES. Always ensure your bulb is within the maximum allowed wattage of 11w to prevent overheating and damage.To maintain the beauty of the velvet and tassels, gently dust with a soft, dry cloth or a lint roller. Avoid using harsh chemical cleaners. If necessary, lightly dab any marks on the velvet with a slightly damp cloth, being careful not to rub excessively. Ensure the shade is completely dry before re-attaching to a lamp.
