Andromeda 12cm Lamp Shade - Copper

Description

DescriptionThe shape here is borrowed from a wine glass: a bowl of copper-toned glass drawing in towards the neck, with a frosted funnel seated inside it. The outer glass carries the warm metallic sheen, while the inner funnel softens what passes through, so the light reads as a glow rather than a hot spot when seen from below. At 12cm across it is a small shade, the sort that works in numbers as happily as on its own. We reach for it when a cluster pendant has lost a shade and the rest of the run needs to match.
Because it is a shade and not a light in itself, the lamp is decided by the host fitting it goes on to. That makes it a straightforward swap for a bar pendant, a multi-light ceiling fitting over an island or breakfast bar, or a wall light in a hallway that has always felt a little bare. The diffused output is gentle and ambient, which suits kitchens and dining rooms where people sit under the light for a while. We would choose it where copper is already in play in the room, in taps, handles or pans, and a warm metallic note would tie things together.
It is glass throughout, the copper tone on the outer wall and the frosted funnel held within, and light enough in the hand to be easy to handle. For cleaning, a damp microfibre cloth followed by a dry buff brings the sheen back; steer clear of scouring creams and spray polish, which will dull the finish over time. It carries a one year warranty. The same wine shape is offered in amber, chrome and clear, and there is a slightly larger round bowl in the same copper if you prefer a fuller profile. The shade is sold on its own.

Frequently AskedWhat size is this shade?
It measures 120mm in diameter and 125mm in height, so it sits in the small bracket and reads well in a group of two or three.
Does it come with a lamp?
No, it is a non-electric glass shade only. The lamp is whatever the host pendant or wall light is designed to take.
Will it fit my existing pendant?
It is made for fittings designed around this shade type, so check the shade holder or gallery on your fitting against the shade's neck before ordering.
Is the copper colour in the glass or on the surface?
The copper tone is a finish on the outer glass. The funnel inside is frosted, which is what softens the light.
How heavy is it?
Around 0.14kg, so it is light for a glass shade and easy to hold while you fit it.
Can I use it in a bathroom?
No. It is rated for ordinary dry rooms only and should be kept away from steam and splashing.
