Know before you buy
The shade is crafted from a specialized PVC material that mimics the look and texture of traditional paper. This choice ensures the shade is durable, easy to clean, and resistant to yellowing over time.
Yes, the Model 180 is compatible with dimmable bulbs and switches. Using a dimmer allows you to adjust the intensity of the light to better suit the mood of your room.
Because the shade is enclosed, it is naturally protected from most dust. If needed, you can gently wipe the surface with a soft, dry cloth or use a duster to keep the folds clean.
This fixture is dry-rated, meaning it is intended for indoor spaces like living rooms, dining areas, or bedrooms. It should not be installed in bathrooms or areas with high humidity or direct water exposure.
No, the light bulb is not included. You will need to purchase an incandescent or compatible LED bulb with a maximum wattage of 20W to fit the fixture's specifications.
The hand-folded shade acts as a diffuser, softening the light to create a warm, ambient glow. It is designed to provide comfortable, glare-free illumination rather than harsh, direct task lighting.
