Is this shade suitable for outdoor use or in bathrooms?

Troubleshooting
Koral shade doesn't fit my existing ceiling fixture.
The Koral shade is designed for standard B22 BC or E27 ES pendant fittings. Ensure your existing fixture has one of these bulb holder types. If it's a different type, an adapter may be required, or the shade may not be compatible.
My chosen bulbs are too long and extend past the bottom of the shade.
Before purchasing bulbs, always measure their length and compare it against the shade's dimensions (15 cm height). If current bulbs are too long, replace them with shorter, more compact LED bulbs that fit entirely within the shade's structure for both aesthetic and safety reasons.
The light output seems too dim, even with 60W bulbs.
The natural rattan material diffuses light, which can make the perceived brightness lower than a clear shade. For brighter illumination, ensure you are using high-lumen LED bulbs (up to the 60W equivalent limit). Consider adding other light sources to the room if more overall brightness is needed, or ensuring the room size is appropriate for this shade's light output.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup Instructions
- Safety First: Ensure the power to your existing light fixture is turned off at the main circuit breaker before beginning installation.
- Unpack: Carefully remove the Koral Pendant Shade from its packaging.
- Prepare Fixture: Your existing ceiling pendant fitting should have a standard bulb holder (B22 BC or E27 ES).
- Attach Shade: Gently align the central opening of the Koral shade with the bulb holder of your existing pendant light fitting. Push the shade up and secure it according to your fixture's mechanism (this usually involves a shade ring that screws onto the bulb holder).
- Install Bulbs: Screw in two compatible bulbs (2 x 60W Max B22 BC or E27 ES, not included). Crucially, check that the length of your chosen bulbs does not extend beyond the bottom edge or interfere with the shade's structure.
- Restore Power: Once the shade and bulbs are securely in place, restore power at the circuit breaker.
Compatibility
- Bulbs: Requires 2 x 60W Max B22 BC or E27 ES bulbs. Compatible with LED bulbs. Dimmable function is available only when used with compatible dimmable bulbs and a dimmer switch.
- Smart Home: Compatible with most domestic smart light bulbs, allowing for seamless integration into your smart home system.
- Fixtures: Designed as an easy-fit shade for existing standard ceiling pendant light fixtures; no new wiring is needed.
Care & Maintenance
- Cleaning: To clean, gently wipe the rattan and cane surfaces with a soft, dry or slightly damp cloth. Avoid abrasive cleaners or harsh chemicals, as these can damage the natural material.
- Dusting: Regularly dust the shade with a feather duster or a soft brush to prevent dust buildup in the woven material.
- Placement: For indoor use only. Avoid prolonged exposure to direct sunlight or high humidity, which could affect the material's integrity and color over time.
