HANDMADE & UNIQUE - PLEASE NOTE:
Our pendant light shades are completely unique! Sizes and colours can vary due to the handmade nature of the item. Minor imperfections such as a break in weave where a new palm frond is woven are not faults, they are part of the unique charm of each pendant! Colours can vary according to when in the season the pendant was woven, and can develop in time after installation, usually becoming slightly darker. We are happy to send photos of your exact pendants if you need to choose a particular shade to ensure your satisfaction prior to shipping, as returns and refunds on the above issues basis are not accepted. Please also note that the pendants are made from palm leaf, not plastic, and will have a natural pleasant organic aroma that lessens with time, but worth noting if you are sensitive to smells.
CARE FOR YOUR PENDANT LIGHT SHADE
Pendant lights can be reshaped if required by wetting the basket prior to installation and inserting a dry towel inside the basket to shape it to the required dimensions. Let dry overnight.
To smooth the fronds down after shipping, you can spray lightly with water, smooth down with a wide tooth comb and cover with a towel overnight to train the fronds downwards.
Each pendant light comes with a metal ring woven in to fit into a standard pendant kit. The ring has an E27 sized insert which can be removed to accommodate larger pendant light kit (please see photo showing light ring measurements).
Keep your pendant light shade clean by dusting or wiping gently with a cloth.
Electric light fitting not included - pendant light kits can be easily purchased at most hardware stores appropriate for your electrical requirements.
We recommend that your lights be installed by a licensed electrician to ensure that they are installed correctly. If required by relevant safety standards, a fireproofing spray can be applied regularly.
