Expert Installation Tips
To get the best from your Shropshire Shade, follow these simple installation tips:
-
Check the Fitting: Most of our shades come with a standard E27 fitting and include a B22 reducer ring. Always double-check your lamp base or pendant fitting before installing.
-
Secure the Shade: Ensure the shade sits level and is tightly fastened to avoid tilting, which is especially important for ceiling pendants.
-
Bulb Choice Matters: Use warm white LED bulbs to enhance the soft glow of the fabric and prevent overheating.
-
Height & Placement: For table and floor lamps, aim for the bulb to sit just below eye level when seated to reduce glare.
-
Dust Regularly: Keep your shade looking its best with a gentle fabric brush or a quick go-over with a lint roller.
