Wrinkle Clip-On Lampshade Black - 8/13cm x 13cm

The Wrinkle is a black fabric clip-on lampshade with a pleated, gathered surface, measuring 80mm top diameter, 130mm base diameter, and 130mm height. The shade clips directly onto a candle-style bulb (E14 fitting typically) without needing a separate carrier ring, making it suitable for wall sconces, chandeliers, and multi-arm pendant lights where individual shades are clipped to each bulb.

Designed for decorative lighting where the shade itself becomes part of the fitting's appearance, the Wrinkle works in both traditional and contemporary installations. The pleated fabric creates vertical texture that catches light differently depending on the angle, giving the shade visual depth rather than appearing as a flat black cone. The inner white lining diffuses the bulb output and prevents hotspots, while the black exterior absorbs rather than reflects ambient light, making the bulb glow the dominant visual element when lit.

The gathered pleats are heat-set into the fabric and maintain their shape across the life of the shade. The clip mechanism is a spring-loaded metal ring that fits over the neck of a candle bulb below the threaded base, holding the shade securely without tools. At 70g, the shade adds minimal weight to the bulb and suits most horizontal or upward-angled lamp holders. The 40W maximum rating applies to incandescent and halogen bulbs; LED candle bulbs of equivalent brightness (typically 4-6W) generate far less heat and can be used without concern.

What bulb fitting does this shade clip onto?

The shade clips onto candle-style bulbs, most commonly E14 small Edison screw fittings. The spring-loaded clip ring fits over the bulb neck below the threaded base, so it works with any candle bulb shape (flame-tip, golf ball, frosted) in E14 or similarly-sized bases.

Can LED bulbs be used with this shade?

Yes. The 40W maximum rating refers to incandescent and halogen bulbs. LED candle bulbs typically draw 4-6W for equivalent brightness and generate minimal heat, making them safe and recommended for use with fabric shades.

Will the pleats flatten or lose shape over time?

The pleats are heat-set into the fabric during manufacture and maintain their shape across the shade's lifespan. Normal handling and bulb heat do not affect the pleating.

What fittings is this shade suitable for?

Any wall light, chandelier or pendant light with exposed candle bulbs where clip-on shades are appropriate. Common applications include traditional multi-arm chandeliers, wall sconces with upward or horizontal bulbs, and decorative pendant lights with multiple candle fittings.
