- What size socket does this shade fit?
- The opening is about 5 inches across, so it fits compact pendant sockets and single-bulb cords. Measure your socket ring before ordering; wide fitters and chandelier clusters will not fit.
- Is the glass actually hammered or just printed?
- The texture is molded into the glass, so the pattern is part of the surface rather than a coating. That means it will not peel or rub off, and it scatters light in every direction.
- Does it come with a mounting ring or cord?
- No. It is the glass shade only, so you reuse your existing socket ring, cord, and canopy. Check that your ring diameter matches the opening.
- Will it fit a standard E26 bulb?
- Yes, a standard E26 bulb fits inside, but keep bulb length in mind because the shade is only 7.5 inches tall. A long decorative bulb may protrude below the rim.
- Can I use it outdoors?
- It is made for indoor lighting. Covered porches may be fine, but exposed rain and temperature swings can crack or cloud the glass.
- How do I clean the hammered surface?
- Wipe it with a damp cloth and mild soap, then dry it. Avoid abrasive pads, which can dull the texture and leave scratches.
