Stella Round Pleated Lampshade White - 15/20cm x 16.3cm

The Stella is a round pleated lampshade in white fabric with a 15cm top diameter, 20cm bottom diameter and 16.3cm height. Vertical pleats run from the top rim to the base, creating shadow lines that add surface texture while keeping the overall appearance clean and neutral. The shade is designed as a replacement or upgrade for small table lamps, bedside lamps and wall lights.

Suitable for bedside tables, living room side tables and console table lamps where the shade needs to stay proportional to the base, the Stella's compact 16.3cm height keeps the light source closer to the surface it's illuminating. The 20cm bottom diameter provides enough coverage for most small lamp bases without overwhelming them. The included reducer ring adapts the top fitting to different holder sizes, allowing the shade to clip onto both standard E27/E14 lamp holders and smaller candle-style fittings.

The white fabric is semi-translucent when lit, diffusing light evenly without creating harsh shadows or bright spots. The pleated surface breaks up the flat expanse of fabric and gives the shade more visual interest than a plain drum or empire shape. The shade is rated for bulbs up to 40W, which translates to approximately 6-8W LED or higher-wattage halogen and incandescent if still in use. At 0.27kg the shade is light enough to fit most small lamp frames without overbalancing the fitting.

What lamp holders does it fit?

The shade includes a reducer ring that adapts the top fitting to multiple holder sizes, including standard E27 and E14 screw fittings and smaller candle-style bayonet holders. The ring clips onto the holder and the shade sits on top of the ring.

What wattage bulb should I use?

The shade is rated for bulbs up to 40W. For most small table lamps a 6-8W LED bulb in warm white (2700K-3000K) provides adequate light for reading or ambient lighting without generating excess heat inside the shade.

Is the fabric washable?

The pleated fabric can be dusted with a soft brush or vacuum attachment on low suction. Spot-cleaning with a barely-damp cloth is acceptable for marks, but avoid saturating the fabric or immersing the shade in water as this can distort the pleats and damage the internal frame.

What base size does it suit?

The 20cm bottom diameter suits lamp bases with a footprint of approximately 12-16cm. Pairing the shade with a base that's wider than 16cm can make the shade look undersized, while bases narrower than 10cm may look top-heavy with this shade.
