Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup
The Reni Lamp Shade is designed for fuss-free installation:
- Unpack: Carefully remove the lamp shade from its packaging.
- Identify Fitting: Locate the ring adaptor inside the shade that allows it to attach to your light fitting.
- Attach to Fixture: Gently position the shade onto your existing standard light fitting (for either a ceiling pendant or a lamp base) and secure it with the fitting ring. No wiring is required.
- Align: Ensure the shade is straight and securely seated.
Compatibility
- Light Fittings: The Reni Lamp Shade is compatible with standard light fittings for both ceiling pendants and table/floor lamp bases. Ensure your current fixture uses a standard size shade ring.
- Bulbs: It is compatible with most standard bulb types, including LED, CFL, and incandescent bulbs, provided they fit your lamp holder and do not exceed the recommended wattage for your fixture. LED bulbs are recommended for energy efficiency and lower heat emission.
Care
To keep your Reni Lamp Shade looking its best:
- Exterior (Polycotton): Gently wipe the exterior fabric with a soft, dry cloth or use a lint roller to remove dust and debris. For light marks, a slightly damp cloth can be used, but avoid saturating the fabric.
- Interior (Metallic Copper): Use a soft, dry, microfibre cloth to gently wipe the metallic inner surface. Avoid abrasive cleaners or harsh chemicals, as these can scratch or damage the finish. Regular, gentle dusting will help maintain its reflective quality.
- General: Avoid exposing the shade to excessive moisture or direct sunlight for prolonged periods to prevent fading or material degradation. Ensure the light fixture is off and cool before cleaning.
