Know before you buy
The paper shade offers a traditional, delicate aesthetic that provides a soft, warm glow, while the PVC option is more durable and easier to clean. Both materials maintain the iconic pleated look, but the PVC is recommended for high-traffic areas or spaces where moisture might be a concern.
Yes, the Model 101 comes with a generous 118-inch cord, making it well-suited for rooms with high ceilings. Because the design is fully enclosed, it effectively hides the light source from view, preventing glare when looking up at the fixture from below.
Yes, the fixture is smart home compatible. You can integrate it into your existing setup by using a smart bulb or a compatible smart dimmer switch to control brightness and scheduling.
The Model 101 is designed for use with standard 120V dimmers. We recommend using a high-quality LED-compatible dimmer switch to ensure smooth, flicker-free performance.
For the PVC version, you can gently wipe the surface with a soft, dry cloth or a duster. If the shade is paper, use a very soft brush or a light dusting tool to avoid damaging the delicate pleats.
No, the 16-inch size is exclusively available in the PVC material. If you prefer the paper finish, you will need to select one of the other available size options.
