Frequently asked questions

We specialise in limited run and bespoke lampshades. Our lampshades are handmade and crafted from specially selected fabrics for a small production number.

Make sure that your lamp is turned off and disconnected from a power source while fitting the lampshade. Remove the socket ring from the lamp that holds the lampshade in place. Position the lampshade over the socket on the lamp and use the socket ring to keep it in place by tightening the ring until it locks. Choose a lightbulb that complies with the recommended wattage for the lamp. This information should be supplied on the lamp base. The lampshade is designed to work with an E27 lightbulb. An E27 lightbulb is a standardised screw-in lightbulb with a base of 27mm diameter. We recommend that an LED lightbulb be used as they are cooler in temperature, energy efficient and eco-friendly. A plastic adaptor is supplied with each lampshade in case it is needed for other lamp fittings. The adaptor is easily removed from the lampshade ring if not required by clicking it out of the metal ring. Check to make sure that all the components have been assembled correctly before turning the lamp on.

Fabric samples can be supplied on request if colour-matching is important. A $10.00 fee will be applied to each sample requested. Please send fabric sample requests to us via enquiries@menoarts.com.au.
