Compatibility guide

Choosing the right E27 components.

ArcVane objects shape light through printed form, surface, and clearance. The lamp holder, base or fitting, and bulb are selected separately, so the best result comes from treating fit, heat, and scale as part of the same decision.

E27 setting

Current ArcVane shades and shade-and-stand objects are designed around compatible E27 lamp holders and stable compliant lamp bases or fittings sourced separately by the customer.

Low-heat LED only

Use modern low-heat E27 LED bulbs only. Do not use incandescent, halogen, heat lamp, appliance, or other high-temperature bulb types.

Bulb scale

Choose bulbs that sit comfortably inside the shade profile with air space around the bulb, neck, and opening. As a practical starting point, compact E27 LEDs around 45–60 mm wide and 80–110 mm tall are usually easier to fit than oversized feature bulbs.

Heat and clearance

Leave visible clearance between the bulb and PLA surfaces. If a bulb runs hot to the touch, crowds the shade, or touches any printed surface, choose a smaller and lower-heat LED before use.

ArcVane supplies

Decorative shades, decorative lighting forms, stands, diffusers, mechanical adapters, and modular lighting accessories, as stated on each product page.

Customer supplies

Compatible E27 lamp holder, low-heat E27 LED bulb, and stable compliant lamp base or customer-supplied fitting. The customer also supplies any electrical socket, cord, plug, switch, and wiring required for that fitting.

ArcVane does not currently supply

Bulbs, electrical sockets, cords, plugs, lamp holders, wiring, complete lamp bases, or electrical assemblies unless a future product page explicitly states otherwise.

Bulb selection notes.

Prefer low-heat E27 LED bulbs with modest physical dimensions and a broad, diffused light output.
Typical bulb styles to consider are compact A60, G45, P45, or small opal globe LEDs, provided the listed dimensions leave clearance inside the selected shade.
Check the bulb envelope diameter, total bulb height, and neck shape against the dimensions shown on the product page; 45–60 mm diameter and 80–110 mm height is a useful working range for many compact E27 LEDs.
Avoid oversized decorative globes, exposed-filament incandescent bulbs, halogen bulbs, heat lamps, and appliance bulbs.
If the bulb or holder changes the shade angle, crowds the shade wall, or reduces airflow, treat that combination as incompatible.

Before ordering.

Review the product page for supplied ArcVane components, dimensions, adapter notes, and clearance language. If you are matching an existing E27 lamp holder or base, confirm the holder neck, bulb envelope, shade opening, and airflow before purchase.
