Choosing the Right Lampshade...

dimensions of lampshade image
Tips for fitting a shade to a lamp base:
When your shade is sitting on the harp or
is clipped to the bulb, the socket
hardware should not be visible below the
bottom of the shade
The lampshade should not be taller than
the lamp itself




Bulb Clip vs. Harp Style Lampshades
Bulb clip lampshades, clip directly onto the light bulb itself
Harp style lampshades have a washer top which fits onto a harp
and is held firmly in place with a finial (as seen in the above shade
with the pine cone finial.)
