Assembly Instructions

Final Check: Ensure the shade is symmetrical and the mounting mechanism is firmly attached.

CAUTION! Do not force parts. Handle fabric/paper shades gently to avoid tearing.

Installation to Lamp Base

Power Off: Ensure the lamp is unplugged.
Prepare Base: Remove any existing shade or harp from the lamp base.
Position Shade: For screw-fit models: Align the shade's mounting ring over the lamp socket and rotate clockwise to secure. For clip-on models: Position the shade so the mounting clips grip the lamp bulb holder or harp seat firmly.
Secure: Tighten any locking screws or ensure clips are fully engaged. The shade should sit straight and feel stable.
Install Bulb: Insert a recommended bulb (see Specifications) through the shade's bottom opening. Do not exceed the maximum wattage.
