Where are your lamp shades made?

Our lamps shades are original designs made in Melbourne using carefully selected Australian sourced materials. All our lamp shades are made from premium quality polymer which is 100% recyclable, highly durable, non-toxic, and easy to clean. Our lamp shades are easy to assemble with a simple interlocking tab design and require no extra fittings or fasteners. We use locally sourced 100% recyclable packaging.

I'd like to hang my Lightwrap® lamp shade from the ceiling. Are they available as ceiling pendant shades as well as table lamps?

Yes. All our lamp shades can be purchased as either a table/bedside lamp or a ceiling pendant lamp. Simply select which style you prefer when ordering. All our ceiling pendant lamp shades come with the attachment piece which holds the lamp shade in place on the suspension cord, but do not come with the electrical suspension cord itself.

If you do not already have the electrical suspension cord hanging from your ceiling, you can purchase a suspension kit - these act like an extension cord and simply fit into your existing bayonet light fitting - no electrician required! You can get these from your local hardware store or most major lighting retailers. We do not currently stock these.

How does the Draw-Your-Own Lightwrap® - Lamp Kit work?

The Draw-Your-Own Lightwrap® Kit is a great creative, fun activity for kids to get them away from the computer games! The kit includes one blank pre-cut Lightwrap® lamp shade and washable colour markers to start you off with your creation. Anyone with a creative urge can create their own lamp shade masterpiece simply by drawing directly onto the lamp shade.

The lamp shade is ready to draw on, just pick up a pen/crayon/texta/pencil and be creative! You can use the washable markers that come with the kit, or use permanent marker pens, coloured pencils, crayons, or even decorate with stickers! (Hint... If you change your mind a lot we recommend using the washable markers included in your kit ... simply wipe the drawing off with a damp cloth... then start all over again!). Make sure your lamp is disconnected from any power source before you decide to clean it!! Allow your drawing to dry completely before assembling your lamp shade.

How do I assemble my Lightwrap® lamp shade?

Hold the Lightwrap® along the tabbed edges with the printed (or drawn) side facing away from you then bend the opposite edges together in towards you and interlock the tabs together.

Then simply place the Lightwrap® over your the lamp base or suspend from your ceiling cord with the pendant attachment (supplied with ceiling pendant lamp shades) At the back of the table Lightwrap® there is a little hole to clip the cord into. And your done! Easy peasy!

Is it safe?

Yes. Your Lightwrap® lamp shade is made from premium Australian made polymer. It is non-toxic, heat-resistant, and 100% recyclable (in fact... recycling this polymer uses less water than recycling paper products!). Our lamp shades are made here in Melbourne using only carefully selected Australian sourced materials.
