FAQs
Decide if I want a glass shade or the glass base to have a fabric shade?
The lit glass element becomes part of the design (depending on the light’s color, and transparency of the glass shades). A fabric base over a glass stem lense creates a more traditional look of table lamp and diffuses the light through the fabric. Select based on the ambience desired and the surrounding furniture.
How does the clear, colored and frosted glass windows play a role in the lighting?
The bulb’s type and brilliance are significant when the leaves are translucent. Coloured glass will give a tint that can affect the light’s appearance. Frosted glass will distribute and minimize the glow from the bulb.
How do I pick a right sized bed side table or Console?
Measure the actual width of the lamp (shade included) to the width of the table top. Include chair essentials on bedside tables, and perhaps nearby art or mirrors on consoles. To determine the proper dimensions of postmodernlighting lamps, Postmodernlighting can analyze your furniture and recommend appropriate proportions for the lamps.
Which of the following bulbs would fit best into a transparent glass table lamp?
Select a bulbs that is compatible with the lighting fixture and within the bulb max wattage. The shape, finish and brightness of the bulb become visible with clear glass and so compose part of its appearance. To test the lighting effect of the preferred bulb from normal viewing positions place the preferred bulb in a sample.
Will the glass colors and metal finishes work well with our project?
Yes. Postmodernlighting can discuss your preferred colour with the glass, your favourite metal look and your preferred shades and fabric. Please include colour samples or colour reference, to ensure available combinations to the selected design.
Which method would you use to clean up a glass table lamp?
Turn the lamp off when it’s still hot, and let it cool down before you clean it. Clean with a soft cloth and never use any product which might scratch colored surfaces or metal finishes on the glass. Use manufacturer’s instructions for care, particularly for electrical elements and fabric shades.
How are glass table lamps protected during shipping?
Glass parts need protection against impact and movement inside the carton. Postmodernlighting uses protective foam and export cartons, with the packing arrangement adapted to the lamp’s shape and size. We can confirm the packaging details for your selected models before shipment.
Can we check a sample before placing the project order?
Yes. A sample lets you compare the glass color, transparency, metal finish and shade fabric with your interior materials. It also helps you check the lighting effect in the intended bedside, console or lounge position.
