Lampshade Fittings
I make all my lampshades to order. The lampshades can be made to work with UK, European and US light fittings.
The small and large candle clip lampshades from my collection are made with the candle clip fitting. The coolie shape uses the utility fitting and the empire style is made with the dulpex fitting and includes a 4 inch shade carrier. If you require any information on US fittings, please don’t hesitate to get in touch.
Candle clip fitting
The shade just clips onto the candle shaped lightbulb. This is perfect for wall lights and slim lamp bases.
Bottom fitting (Utility)
The utility frame provides greater stability to the light fitting and reduces the risk of seeing any lampshade wires. The frame is manufactured to fit European lamp holders, and a reducer adaptor plug is supplied to reduce the aperture so it can fit UK lamp holders.
Duplex fitting
The duplex fitting is suitable to use with both UK and European lamp holders. Each lampshade comes with a standard 10cm | 4” shade carrier. The shade carrier connects the lampshade to the lamp base giving you easy access to maintain and clean your light. It also controls the height between the lampshade and the lamp base. If you need a taller shade carrier, please add a note to your order at the check out or email me at info@annavojtisek.com to discuss your fitting requirements.
Lightbulbs
I highly recommend using energy efficient LED bulbs that don’t give off heat.
I find opaque lightbulbs give a more diffused light, hiding the lampshade wiring.
Lampshade love and care
I recommend keeping your shade out of direct sunlight. Gently wipe with a dry cloth if it appears dusty.
