How to load lights
The first step in packing a lamp is to separate the lampshade from the remainder of the light, as they require to be loaded individually. The harp (the metal structure surrounding the bulb) should be removed from the shade. Though the lampshade ought to never ever be loaded with the light itself, you can load numerous lampshades together. As long as one can suit another, the lampshades can be stacked on top of each other and put in the exact same box. If, however, you have lampshades that are made from silk or are very delicate, load them independently.
The lampshade box must be prepared with crumpled packing paper find this on the bottom; you don't want any part of the lampshade to touch the box. Carefully place the lampshade in the box. Surround all sides of the lampshade with more packing paper. Put some more packing paper on top and seal the box once it is comfortably loaded in the box. Tape it shut and identify it with the contents and arrows suggesting which end is up.
Once the lampshade is loaded, you can work on covering up the light bulb and harp. This can be easily and securely done by laying the harp near one end of a sheet of loading paper.
To safeguard it, you'll require to wrap it up with corrugated paper or paper pads. Simply put the light on its side at the edge of a sheet of the paper, with the electrical cord kept away from the light. Start rolling the light up with the paper.
The lamp can then be put upright in the box that is somewhat larger than the lamp itself. Ensure the bottom of the box has lots of cushioning from crumpled packing paper, and put extra paper around the light to keep it from moving.
Next, position the package containing the light bulb and harp on top. Protect the top of the box with more cushioning, before closing and sealing it shut with tape. Lastly, label the box with its contents, location, and the words "fragile" or "this wind up."
