Blossi Portable Acryl Shade Ø14 PRO: Swap and Care Guide

Quick answer

To swap the shade on your Blossi Table Mini, power off and let the lamp cool, gently unclip the old shade, align the new Blossi Portable Acryl Shade Ø14 PRO, and press it evenly into place. Clean the opal acrylic only with a soft dry cloth to avoid scratches or clouding.

Step-by-step shade swap and care

1. Power off and cool down: Switch off the lamp and unplug it if possible. Let the bulb and shade cool completely before touching them. Common mistake: handling a warm shade can leave smudges and increase the risk of accidental burns. Always disconnect power before any maintenance.
2. Remove the old shade gently: Hold the shade near its base and ease it off the lamp holder. Do not twist or pull sharply. If it resists, check for a locking ring or clip—forcing it can crack the acrylic. Common mistake: using tools like screwdrivers to pry, which can scratch the shade or damage the fitting. If the shade won't budge, consult the lamp manual rather than forcing it.
3. Inspect the new shade and fitting: Before fitting, check the new Blossi Portable Acryl Shade Ø14 PRO for any transport damage and ensure the lamp holder is free of dust or debris. Align the shade's opening with the holder. Common mistake: skipping this check and later discovering a loose fit or a hidden crack. A dry, clean fitting surface helps the shade seat evenly.
4. Seat the new shade evenly: Press the shade straight down until it sits flush against the base. Apply gentle, even pressure around the rim—not just on one side. Common mistake: pushing too hard on one edge, which can crack the acrylic or leave the shade tilted. The shade should feel secure with no wobble.
5. Clean the opal acrylic correctly: For routine cleaning, wipe the shade with a soft, dry microfiber cloth. For fingerprints, lightly dampen the cloth with water and dry immediately. Avoid alcohol, ammonia, or abrasive cleaners. Common mistake: using paper towels or rough cloths that can leave fine scratches and dull the opal finish. Never use chemical cleaners on acrylic; water and a soft cloth are enough.
6. Do a final light and fit check: Reconnect power and switch on the lamp. Check that light diffuses evenly and the shade stays in place. If you see flickering or uneven brightness, the shade may not be seated correctly. Common mistake: ignoring a loose shade, which can lead to overheating or accidental detachment. A properly fitted shade should show no gaps or movement.
