Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup Instructions:
- Safety First: Always ensure the power to your light fixture is completely turned off at the main circuit breaker before starting any installation.
- Remove Old Shade (If Applicable): Carefully detach any existing lampshade from your light fixture.
- Easy Fitting: The Rae lampshade is designed for tool-free installation. Simply align the shade with your light fixture's bulb holder. Most fixtures will have a securing ring that screws onto the bulb holder; place the shade over the holder and then tighten this ring to secure the shade.
- Insert Bulb: Install the appropriate bulb (not included) into the bulb holder. Ensure the bulb wattage is suitable for your fixture.
- Restore Power: Once the shade and bulb are securely in place, switch the power back on at the mains.
Compatibility:
This lampshade is compatible with most standard ceiling pendants and table/floor lamps that use a common bulb holder fitting. It can accommodate various bulb types, but for optimal energy efficiency and cooler operation, LED bulbs are recommended.
Care and Maintenance:
To keep your Rae lampshade looking its best:
- Regular Dusting: Gently dust the pleated fabric surfaces with a soft, dry cloth, a feather duster, or a soft brush regularly to prevent dust buildup.
- Spot Cleaning: For minor marks, lightly dab the area with a slightly damp cloth. Avoid excessive moisture.
- Avoid Harsh Chemicals: Do not use abrasive cleaners, solvents, or harsh chemicals, as these can damage the fabric, color, and finish of the lampshade.
