Aethera 70cm White Lampshade - Plastic

The Aethera is a 700mm diameter white plastic lampshade designed as a replacement or upgrade shade for pendant lights, floor lamps and table lamps that take large-format shades. The shallow dome profile and smooth white surface diffuse light evenly across dining tables, kitchen islands and open-plan living spaces without creating harsh shadows or bright spots.

Designed for rooms where a single overhead pendant or tall floor lamp needs to cast light across a wide area, the 70cm diameter suits ceiling heights of 2.7m or higher and works over dining tables up to 2m long or kitchen islands up to 1.8m. The plastic construction keeps the weight low enough for most pendant cable systems and floor lamp frames to support without requiring additional bracing.

The smooth white finish scatters light in all directions rather than directing it downward, making the shade itself appear to glow when fitted with a bulb rated at 60W or higher. The neutral white tone pairs with polished chrome, brushed brass, matt black and timber lamp bases without clashing, and the shallow profile means the shade does not dominate the visual presence of the fitting itself. The plastic is wipeable with a damp cloth and does not yellow or discolour under normal indoor use.

What fitting does this shade attach to?

The Aethera is a replacement shade, so the fitting method depends on the base lamp you pair it with. Most pendant and floor lamp frames use either a screw ring, a clip-on bayonet system or a drop-on collar. Check the existing shade on your lamp before ordering to confirm compatibility.

What size room does a 70cm shade suit?

A 700mm diameter shade works in dining rooms, kitchens and living spaces with ceiling heights of 2.7m or higher. It provides enough diffusion to light a dining table up to 2m long or a kitchen island up to 1.8m without leaving dark edges.

Is the shade dimmable?

The shade itself does not control dimming — dimmer compatibility depends on the bulb and the fitting the shade is attached to. Most LED and halogen bulbs can be dimmed if paired with a compatible dimmer switch.

How is the shade cleaned?

Wipe the shade with a damp microfibre cloth. For stubborn marks, a small amount of diluted washing-up liquid on the cloth is acceptable. Avoid abrasive cleaners or solvents that can scratch or cloud the plastic surface.
