Setting up your Rae Pleated Stripe Drum Lampshade is designed to be straightforward and tool-free. Simply ensure your existing lamp base or ceiling pendant fitting is compatible with a standard drum shade attachment. The shade slides easily onto the fitting.
Setup Instructions:
- Unpack: Carefully remove the lampshade from its packaging.
- Ensure Power Off: Before beginning, *always* ensure the power to your light fixture is turned off at the mains.
- Attach to Fixture: Align the lampshade's central ring with the bulb holder on your ceiling pendant or lamp. Gently push or twist to secure it in place, depending on your fixture type. No tools are required.
- Insert Bulb: Insert a compatible bulb (not included) into your light fixture.
- Restore Power: Turn the power back on and test your new lampshade.
Compatibility:
- This shade is designed for use with standard ceiling pendants and various lamp bases that accommodate drum shades.
- It is compatible with a range of bulb types, provided they fit your fixture and do not exceed its maximum wattage rating (check your fixture's specifications).
Care Instructions:
- Dusting: Regularly dust the lampshade with a soft, dry cloth or a feather duster to prevent dust accumulation in the pleats.
- Cleaning: For more stubborn marks, gently wipe the surface with a lightly damp, soft cloth. Avoid using harsh chemical cleaners, as these can damage the fabric and colors.
- Bulb Replacement: Always turn off the power at the mains before replacing the light bulb.
