Features

Durian fruit is, on average, the size of a soccer ball and its distinctive taste and smell usually is not appreciated by westerners, but is a very important domestic fruit in many Asian countries. These fibers are stained and inlaid on a heat resistant lamp backing, giving the shade bold color and unique texture. The outer lampshade made of nito vine.

Setup/Care

We recommend not placing your lamp in direct sunlight. If cleaning is required, use a dry cloth or duster. We do not suggest liquid cleaners or using water. These lamps will not require any special maintenance.

Product Usage

Compact fluorescent light bulbs are highly recommended. These bulbs will get nice and bright without the added heat of a standard incandescent bulb. These bulbs also last much longer, in many cases over five years. On average, a 13-watt fluorescent bulb will create the same lumens of light as a standard 60-watt light bulb and a 26-watt fluorescent light bulb will have the same light output as a 100-watt incandescent bulb.
