Serena Lamp Shade 35cm Terylene with Cotton - White

A wide, shallow drum in faux silk, white on the outside and lined with a white laminate. At 35cm across and 15cm tall it is far broader than it is deep, so it sits low and horizontal instead of pulling the eye upwards. The faux silk has a quiet sheen that shifts as you move past it, while the smooth lining keeps the inner face bright, so the white stays white once the lamp is switched on rather than turning warm or patchy.

This one is made for dual mounting, so it will sit on a table lamp or hang as a pendant, and it can move between the two if a room gets rearranged. We would put a width like this on a substantial ceramic or glass base beside a sofa, or overhead in a hallway where a narrow drum would look a little thin. It suits plain painted walls and pale timber, and it works just as well in a bedroom where you want light softened rather than aimed. A GLS shaped LED is what we would choose for it, up to 20W. Lamps are not included.

Faux silk over a laminate backing gives the cylinder its firm round shape and its even surface. Keep it to dry rooms indoors, and keep it dry when you clean it too: a soft brush or a lint roller drawn gently across the fabric lifts dust, while damp cloths, sprays and polishes will mark both the silk and the lining. It carries a one year warranty. The same cylinder shape runs right through the range in black, grey and ivory pearl as well as white, in smaller sizes, so you can match a pair of table lamps to a pendant or set a darker shade against this one for contrast.

What size is the fitting hole?

The hole measures 42mm across, which suits standard shade rings and gimbals on pendant sets and table lamp fittings.

What are the full dimensions?

It is 350mm in diameter and 150mm high, a wide and low cylinder rather than a tall drum.

Which lamp should I use with it?

An LED in the GLS A60 shape works best, rated at no more than 20W. The shade itself is non electric, so the socket comes from the lamp or pendant set you fit it to.

Can it be used as a pendant as well as on a table lamp?

Yes. It is a dual mount shade, so the same one covers both uses.

How should I clean it?

Dust it with a soft dry brush or a lint roller. Avoid water, cleaning sprays and solvents, as they will stain the faux silk and lift the laminate lining.

What colour is the inside?

The lining is a white laminate, matching the white outer fabric, which keeps reflected light neutral.
