Aethera Cylinder Lampshade - White, 16cm

The Aethera is a 16cm diameter cylinder lampshade with a fireproof PVC core wrapped in white fabric. The drum shape provides even light diffusion through the fabric weave, softening glare from exposed bulbs while maintaining enough transparency for useful task light or ambient reading light.

Designed for table lamps, bedside lamps and small pendant conversions, the 16cm diameter suits E27 or E14 lamp holders and works best with bulbs in the 6-10W LED range. The compact size keeps the lampshade proportionate to small lamp bases without overwhelming a bedside table or narrow console. The white fabric pairs cleanly with metal, wood and ceramic bases across traditional and contemporary styles.

The fireproof PVC backing prevents the fabric from sagging or yellowing under bulb heat, maintaining the drum profile over years of use. The 165mm diameter allows the shade to sit comfortably on lamp harps or clip fittings without needing modification. The fabric finish diffuses filament and LED light sources evenly, avoiding the hotspots that can occur with clear or parchment shades.

What fitting type does it use?

The Aethera is designed to fit standard lamp harp fittings or clip-style shade carriers. Check your lamp base for compatibility before ordering — most table lamps use either a harp or an ES/BC shade ring.

What wattage bulb can it take?

The fireproof PVC core handles heat from LED bulbs up to 15W or traditional incandescent bulbs up to 40W. Most users pair this with a 6-10W LED for adequate brightness without excessive heat.

Can the fabric be cleaned?

Yes. Dust the fabric regularly with a soft brush or dry microfibre cloth. For marks, a barely-damp cloth is acceptable, but avoid soaking the fabric or using household sprays which can leave residue or discolour the white weave.
