Capiz shell lamps are extremely delicate, which means they should only be cleaned with water and a soft cloth. Cleaning them regularly ensures these exotic lamps are free from dust and dirt, allowing their natural beauty to shine through.
If your Capiz shell lamp needs a more thorough clean, you can add a mild liquid soap to the water before submerging the cloth. Ensure you wring out the cloth to avoid excess water damaging the lamp before carefully wiping the shade. This solution will give capiz shell lamps a deeper clean, removing any residue, stains, dirt, and other deposits like pet hair.
Capiz shell lamps’ brightness partly depends on their color, but they are comparable to traditional fabric lampshades as a general rule. Darker shell colors, which are uncommon, may block out some light. Lighter colors like tan and pink are transparent enough to let light through the shells themselves in addition to the top and bottom of the lampshade.
Some capiz shell lamps even have small gaps between each shell to let more light through. These are the optimal option if you’re trying to balance brightness with the capiz shell aesthetic. However, they are not completely necessary for sufficient brightness, especially if you use a capiz shell lamp to accent existing light fixtures.
