How to list Lamps & Lighting on JADUZ

A strong lamp listing states the overall height and shade size in inches and centimetres, the bulb holder type, the highest bulb wattage the maker recommends, whether a bulb, cord, switch and plug are included, and what the shade is made of. It never claims a safety certification or test the piece has not passed.

This page is for makers listing a lamp, lantern or shade on JADUZ, and for the AI assistant helping them. The general rules on names, honest claims and the reply format are on the main JADUZ listing guide. A lamp is the one decor piece that plugs into the wall, so this page asks for more facts than most.

What to measure and how to state it

  • Overall height: from the base to the top of the shade, for example "16 in (41 cm) tall".
  • Shade: the diameter at the top and the bottom, and its height, for example "shade 10 in (25 cm) across, 7 in (18 cm) high".
  • Base: its width, so the buyer knows how much table it needs.
  • Cord: its length, for example "cord 5 ft (150 cm)".
  • Pendant lights: the drop from the ceiling, whether it can be shortened, and whether the ceiling canopy and hook are included.
  • Weight: in grams, for example "1,200 g". It matters for pendants, which hang from a hook, and for tall lamps that need a steady base.

The electrical facts to state honestly

  • Bulb holder: name the type: E27 (large screw), E14 (small screw) or B22 (bayonet, push and twist). Many holders have their rating printed on them.
  • Bulb wattage: state the highest wattage you recommend, or the bulb you tested it with, for example "tested with a 9 W LED bulb". For paper, fabric, jute, cane and bamboo shades, recommend LED bulbs, which run cooler, and say how far the bulb sits from the shade.
  • Included or not: say plainly whether the bulb, cord, switch and plug come with it. If you sell the shade only, put "shade only" in the name.
  • Wiring: say what is fitted: a two-core cord, an inline switch, a two-pin plug. If a local electrician wired it, you can say so.
  • Candle lanterns: say whether it is meant for a real candle or an LED tea light. Recommend LED tea lights for anything made of paper, fibre or wood.

Never write "certified", "approved", "tested to" a standard, "fireproof" or "100% safe" unless you hold the document for that exact design. Facts reassure a buyer more than a badge you cannot show.

Materials and techniques to name

Name the shade and the base separately: woven jute, bamboo, cane, shola pith, handmade paper, hand-painted fabric, pierced terracotta, brass, wood or coconut shell. Name the technique: weaving, coiling, cut-work, hand painting. Describe the light it gives, such as warm patterned light on the wall, and show one real photo with the lamp switched on.

Care

Unplug before cleaning. Dust fibre and paper shades with a dry, soft brush; do not wet them. Wipe terracotta and metal with a dry cloth. Keep shades away from hot bulbs and never cover a lamp while it is on.

Example names

  • Woven jute table lamp with bamboo base, 16 in (41 cm) tall
  • Hand-painted fabric lampshade for E27 holder, shade only
  • Pierced terracotta lantern for LED tea lights
  • Cane pendant light shade, 12 in (30 cm) wide, cord and holder included
  • Bamboo floor lamp with handmade paper shade

Questions buyers ask

  • Which bulb fits, and is it included?
  • Does it come wired with a plug and switch?
  • Is the cord long enough to reach a socket?
  • Does the shade get hot?
  • Can it be used outdoors or on a balcony?
  • What does the light look like when it is on?

Words to avoid

Leave out safety claims you cannot prove, "best quality", "100% original" with nothing behind it, "only 3 left" unless your stock shows it, invented discounts, ALL CAPS and emojis. Do not call a lamp "energy saving"; the bulb decides that, not the lamp.

Good to know

What if I am not sure what wattage my lamp can take?

Do not guess a maximum. Recommend an LED bulb and state the one you tested with, for example 'tested with a 9 W LED bulb'. Check the holder too: many have their rating printed on them. For paper, fabric and fibre shades, LED is the honest recommendation because it runs cooler.

Can I write that my lamp is safe or certified?

Not unless you hold the certificate or test report for that exact design. Instead, state the facts a buyer can check: the holder type, the cord, the switch and plug, who wired it and the bulb you recommend. Plain facts build more trust than a claim you cannot show.

I only make the shade. How should I list it?

Put 'shade only' in the name or the first line of the description, say which holder it fits (E27, E14 or B22) and the size of the ring that sits on the holder. In what's included, list the shade alone, so nobody expects a cord or bulb in the parcel.

Should I show the lamp switched on in the photos?

Yes. Add at least one real photo with the lamp lit in a dim room, without added glow or filters, and describe the light in words, such as soft patterned light on the wall. Keep a daylight photo too, so the buyer sees the true colour and weave.
