Plastic Lampshades FAQ
Q: Are Plastic Lampshades safe for use with high-wattage bulbs?
A: Yes, our Plastic Lampshades are specifically engineered to withstand heat from standard household bulbs. Each model has clear wattage limitations that should not be exceeded. For the PLS-400 model, you can safely use up to 100W equivalent LED bulbs or 75W incandescent bulbs without any risk of melting or deformation.
Q: How do I clean and maintain my Plastic Lampshade?
A: For routine cleaning, simply wipe the surface with a soft, dry cloth. For more thorough cleaning, use a mild soap solution and lukewarm water, then immediately dry with a soft towel. Avoid abrasive cleaners or rough materials that could scratch the surface. Regular cleaning every 2-3 months will maintain optimal light transmission.
Q: Can Plastic Lampshades be used outdoors?
A: While our standard Plastic Lampshades are designed for indoor use, we do offer weather-resistant models (PLS-200W and PLS-300W series) specifically engineered for outdoor applications. These feature UV protection and reinforced construction to withstand various weather conditions.
