We supply information on bulb wattage with our lampshades.
The wattage and type of bulb you select will determine the amount and type of lighing you obtain. Consider what type of lighting effect you want - a subtle warm atomosheric light for a bedroom or a brighter working desk light for instance.
The maximum bulb wattage for your lampshade is determined by its diametre size.
20cm d. lampshade: 60W max.
30cm d. lampshade: 100W max.
40- 45cm d. lampshade: 150W max.
You are strongly advised not to exceed the maximum bulb wattage with your lampshade on grounds of safety to reduce heat and fire risk. We recommend choosing to use low energy, low heat emitting bulbs such as LEDs.

Wipe with a damp lint free cloth to keep clean and free from dust.
Occasionally the wood likes to be fed to retain it's beautiful sheen. Remove the lampshade and using a lint free cloth, rub beeswax into the wood surface. Allow the wood to absorb the wax for 30 minutes, then buff with a clean lint free cloth or a clean brush with soft bristles, like the ones you clean your shoes with. This process is a little like cleaning leather shoes!
Tip: Applying the wax is best done in warmer weather when the wax is soft and easier to work with.
