Pleated White Candle Clip Shade - 155mm Base

This pleated white candle shade clips directly onto chandelier or wall light candle bulbs, providing a 155mm base diameter that tapers to an 85mm top opening with a 125mm overall height. The shade is made from white polycotton fabric with vertical pleating that runs from base to top, creating a textured surface that diffuses light evenly while maintaining a clean, neutral appearance.

Designed for chandeliers, wall sconces and table lamps that use candle-style bulbs, the shade clips onto the bulb itself rather than requiring a separate fitting or harp. This makes it compatible with most E14 and SES candle bulbs where the shade needs to sit directly on the bulb. The white polycotton diffuses and softens the light output, reducing glare from exposed filament bulbs and creating a warmer, more ambient glow in the room.

The pleated construction gives the shade structural rigidity without adding weight, while the pure white colour provides a neutral base that pairs with both traditional brass and chrome chandelier frames, as well as painted or wrought-iron finishes. The polycotton fabric can be gently brushed or vacuumed to remove dust, though it should not be washed as the pleating is heat-set during manufacture and water exposure may cause it to relax.

How does the clip-on fitting work?

The shade has a metal clip ring at the top opening that grips directly onto the candle bulb itself. It sits over the bulb and is held in place by friction. This design works with most E14 and SES candle bulbs but is not compatible with bayonet or standard Edison screw bulbs.

What size chandelier or wall light does it suit?

The 155mm base diameter suits small to medium chandeliers and wall sconces where individual candle arms are spaced at least 200mm apart. On larger chandeliers with closely spaced arms, check that adjacent shades will not touch when all are fitted.

Can it be used with LED bulbs?

Yes. The polycotton fabric tolerates the low heat output of LED candle bulbs without issue. For halogen or incandescent candle bulbs, ensure the bulb wattage does not exceed the manufacturer's rating to prevent overheating the fabric.

How is the shade cleaned?

Dust can be removed with a soft brush or vacuum cleaner on low suction using an upholstery attachment. Do not wash or wet-clean the shade as the pleating is heat-set and may relax if exposed to water.
