Lume's lampshades can come in a variety of shapes and sizes. Below we have given you some more information about what we can make to help you decide which one would work best for you
Drum Shade
A cylindrical shade that reassembles a drum. This is made with our printed cotton fabric, and bonded to a fire retardant PVC backing with a top and bottom ring. Our drum shades are finished with cotton taped inside edges. Our drum shades can be made for a lamp base or a ceiling fitting. All drum shades are handmade in our studio on Hove.
Our drum lampshade fitting ring will fit a standard bayonet cap (BC) lamp holder, which is the most common type of lamp fitting in the UK today. It can also be used with Edison Screw (E27) lamp holders, which is most common in Europe. Simply remove the converter plug in the centre of the fitting.

Our plain coloured traditional frames have been sprayed silver to give the shade more interest. If you would like your frame sprayed in a particular colour then please feel free to get in contact
