What is a Lamp Shade?
A lamp shade is a decorative shade which typically surrounds a light source. Table lamps and floor lamps often use a lamp shade. The shade itself serves multiple functions, directing light upwards for ambient light, and downwards for nearby tasks. The funnel shape also helps heat to escape from the light bulbs. Some light may diffuse through the sides of the shade as well. The shade also protects your eyes from light-bulb glare and can become a part of your room's decorative style. Replacement lamp shades are a great way to refresh a lamp or light fixture. They attach to the lamp usually with a harp or fitter and finial.
Lamp Shade Benefits

- Diffuses light through the sides.
- Directs heat to escape safely.
- Adds a decorative touch to the room.

A Bell-Shaped Shade
A bell-shaped lampshade has a fluted design and curved sides, similar to the shape of a bell. The gentle curves can be aesthetically pleasing. The wider bottom helps more light to spread out downwards and sideways, such as for reading or nearby activities. The smaller top helps to funnel bulb heat away from the lamp. Bell shades coordinate well with a lamp base featuring a curved surface or profile.
Traditional Style
Classic in nature, yet elegant by design best describes the timeless appeal of predictable yet dignified lines and curves. Traditional Style Lighting prides itself on stately structure, beautiful ornate details, and reliable designs that tell a story of enduring appeal and craftsmanship. It’s a tried-and-true style that is reliable, and speaks of discriminating and taste of a steadfast lifestyle.
Mounts to a Lamp
Sits on top of a harp or fitter, which is typically attached to a floor or table lamp. Spider-fitter shades sit on top of a harp fitter (a separate item). Uno fitter shades sit below the bulb with the uno fitter above. Clip-on shades clip directly onto the light bulb.
Customer Reviews
I love these shades in the photo - and in person they are really brown when the lights are turned off.
I was looking for a shade that is light colored and these are brown - and even when the light is on they are still quite dark.
perfect quality - excellent craftsmanship - color is not as shown.
The shades were perfect!
This was Just like it said. It looks great! Very helpful staff, would do again!
I absolutely love this shade and it is perfect for the "out of the ordinary" lamp for which it was purchased!
Shade gives a nice warm light. Looks nice on the wrought iron table lamp.
great items
Love the lampshade. Looks great on my lamp. Very rich looking.
I make marble mosaic lamps(a high end item)and always use this shade. My customers love it. Although I offer them the option to choose another shade at LAMPSUSA, they opt for this one 95% of the time. It is classy looking and looks well lit or unlit.
Using the Lamps USA site was very convenient; I was looking for specific sizes and type of shades and was able to narrow down my search considerably, and there were still plenty to choose from. I liked this particular style as I have some rustic metal lamps whose handmade paper shades were beyond repair. This fits the bill plus they're easier to dust. The product info such as how the lamp sits upon the harp was very, very helpful.
Happy with this purchase.
Additional Information
This shade includes a Spider Fitter
The top of this shade is fitted with a `Spider` fitter, designed to fit on top of a harp. The spider is aptly named with multiple arms which extend out from a central ring to the edges of the top of the shade. The ring sits around the screw thread at the top of the harp, fastened by a screwed-on finial.The shade does not come with a harp - typically the harp, a two-pronged loop of metal which comes up around the light bulb and joins at the top, is a part of your lamp base. If you need a new harp to go with your shade, see our selection of shade harps.
If your old harp is damaged or missing, or is not the correct height, you may need a new harp so that your new shade will be positioned correctly. Shades with a spider fitter typically have a `drop` of 1/2" to 1" where the spider arms recess downward into the shade to hide the top of the harp. Unless you a replacing an existing shade with a shade the same size you may need a different-sized harp.
You may want to measure from the top edge of the shade down to the center of the fitter. This makes the fitting less visible when viewing the lamp from the side but does raise the position of the shade by the drop distance. Also keep in mind you may prefer not to see any of the socket or bulb when viewing from the side.
See our Lamp Shade Buyer's Guide for more information.
Measuring a Bell-Shaped Lamp Shade
Bell shades are typically measured with three dimensions:- Top: The diameter of the circle at the top of the shade - measure straight across.
- Bottom: The diameter of the circle at the bottom of the shade - measure straight across.
- Slant Height: The diagonal height/length measured in a straight line from the top edge of the shade to the bottom edge. Ignore the curved sides of the bell shade and measure in a perfectly straight line.
