Assembly Instructions
The OUTON lamp shades are designed for quick and easy self-assembly without the need for any tools. Follow these steps to set up your new lamp shade:
- Form the Top Ring: Take one of the metal rings. Connect the two ends of the metal ring to form a complete circle. Ensure the connection is secure.
- Form the Bottom Ring: Repeat the process with the second metal ring to form another complete circle. This will be the bottom support for your lampshade.
- Unfold the Lampshade Fabric: Carefully unfold the linen lampshade fabric. You will notice Velcro strips on the ends. Align and firmly press the Velcro ends together to form the cylindrical shape of the lampshade.
- Attach Rings to Fabric: Insert the formed metal rings into the top and bottom edges of the fabric lampshade. The fabric has integrated clips or pockets designed to hold the rings securely in place. Ensure all buckles or clips are properly attached to the round brackets of the rings.
- Install on Lamp Base: Once assembled, place the lampshade onto your lamp base. The 1.65-inch spider fitter (the central ring on the top metal frame) is designed to fit standard E26 & E27 lamp holders.
Note: The folding design is intentional to ensure the lampshade arrives in perfect condition and simplifies shipping.

Operating Instructions
Once assembled and placed on your lamp base, the OUTON lamp shade functions as a standard lampshade, diffusing light from your bulb. Ensure your lamp is connected to a power source and the bulb is securely screwed in.
- Light Diffusion: The natural linen material is designed to scatter light softly, reducing harsh glare and creating a warm, inviting atmosphere.
- Bulb Compatibility: The shade is compatible with various bulb types (LED, incandescent, CFL) as long as they fit within the shade's dimensions and are suitable for your lamp's socket (E26/E27, E12/E14, or Harp Holder).
- Optimizing Lighting Effect: The appearance of the light (warm, daylight, white) will depend on the type of light bulb you use. Experiment with different bulbs to achieve your desired lighting effect.

Maintenance
To ensure your OUTON lamp shades remain in excellent condition and provide optimal light diffusion, follow these simple maintenance guidelines:
- Dusting: Regularly dust the lampshade with a soft, dry cloth or a feather duster to prevent dust buildup.
- Spot Cleaning: For minor spots or smudges, gently wipe the affected area with a slightly damp cloth. Avoid using harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners, as these can damage the linen fabric.
- Deep Cleaning: If a more thorough cleaning is required, it is recommended to carefully remove the fabric from the metal frame and gently hand wash it with mild soap and cold water. Allow it to air dry completely before reassembling.
- Avoid Direct Sunlight: Prolonged exposure to direct sunlight may cause the linen fabric to fade over time. Position your lamp in an area where it is not constantly exposed to intense sunlight.
- Handle with Care: While durable, avoid applying excessive force or bending the metal frame during handling or cleaning to prevent deformation.
Troubleshooting
If you encounter any issues with your OUTON lamp shades, please refer to the common problems and solutions below:
| Problem | Possible Cause | Solution |
|---|---|---|
| Lampshade appears wrinkled or creased. | This is normal due to the folding design for shipping. | Once assembled and in place, minor creases should naturally relax. Gentle steaming from a distance may help, but avoid direct contact with steam. |
| Lampshade does not sit straight on the lamp. | Improper assembly of the metal rings or incorrect placement on the lamp holder. | Ensure both metal rings are perfectly circular and securely attached to the fabric. Verify the spider fitter is correctly aligned and tightened onto your lamp's bulb holder. |
| Light appears too dim or too bright. | This is related to the light bulb used, not the lampshade. | Replace the light bulb with one of a different wattage or color temperature (e.g., higher wattage for brighter light, warmer color temperature for a softer glow). |
| Fabric detaches from the metal rings. | Clips or buckles not fully engaged during assembly. | Carefully re-attach the fabric to the metal rings, ensuring all integrated clips or buckles are firmly secured around the ring brackets. |
