Troubleshooting

Light does not turn on

Check that the bulb is correctly installed and functional. Verify that the plug is securely in the socket (if applicable) and the switch is in the 'on' position. If hardwired, ensure the circuit breaker is on and consult a qualified electrician if the issue persists.

Shade feels loose

Gently tighten any visible screws or fittings connecting the shade to the stem. Avoid over-tightening to prevent damage to the bone china.

Cable is damaged

If the cotton braided cable appears frayed or damaged, discontinue use immediately and consult a qualified electrician or contact customer support for a replacement part. Do not attempt to repair the cable yourself.
