Clip-On Crystal Effect Lampshade - Silver Vinyl

This Diyas clip-on lampshade uses a faceted crystal-effect vinyl to diffuse and scatter light from candle bulbs. The shade measures 80mm at the top rim, 130mm at the base and 120mm in height, with a polished chrome metal frame at the top and bottom edges. The vinyl itself is embossed with a crystalline pattern that refracts light into small scattered points when the bulb inside is lit.

Designed to clip directly onto the neck of E14 candle bulbs, the shade fits chandeliers, wall sconces and table lamps where individual shades are needed on multiple arms. The clip-on fitting removes the need for a separate shade ring or carrier, making installation as simple as pressing the shade onto the bulb. The shade is rated for bulbs up to 40W, which suits most LED candle bulbs (typically 4-6W) and lower-wattage halogen or incandescent bulbs.

The vinyl construction keeps the weight to 0.2kg per shade, allowing multiple shades to be fitted onto a chandelier without overloading the arms. The crystalline embossing creates a pattern of light refraction across walls and ceilings when lit, while the polished chrome rim adds a metallic accent that pairs with chrome, nickel and silver-toned light fittings. The shade interior is smooth vinyl, which reflects light back through the embossed exterior rather than absorbing it.

What bulb fitting does this shade clip onto?

The shade clips directly onto the neck of E14 candle bulbs. The clip mechanism grips the metal base of the bulb, so no separate shade carrier or ring is needed. Most chandeliers and wall sconces with candle-style arms use E14 bulbs.

Can it be used with LED bulbs?

Yes. The 40W maximum rating allows for any standard LED candle bulb (typically 4-6W equivalent to 40W incandescent). LED bulbs also generate less heat, which is safer for vinyl shades in enclosed chandelier configurations.

How many shades are needed for a typical chandelier?

One shade per bulb. A 5-arm chandelier needs 5 shades, an 8-arm needs 8. Each shade weighs 0.2kg, so fitting multiple shades adds minimal load to the chandelier arms.

Does the vinyl discolour with heat?

The shade is rated for bulbs up to 40W. Using bulbs within this rating prevents excessive heat buildup. LED bulbs generate significantly less heat than halogen or incandescent equivalents, which extends the shade's lifespan and reduces discolouration risk.
