Fabula Bradley 12cm Ribbed Round Glass Shade (H) - Clear

Clear Glass With Fine Vertical Ribbing

This 12cm shade is clear glass with a fine ribbed texture running vertically, so light passes through brightly but breaks into gentle segments rather than coming out as a flat beam. It's part of the Bradley collection and fits the small G9 fittings used across all their designs, making it handy as a spare or for building out a larger multi arm fixture.

Choosing Your Finish

Clear ribbed keeps the room feeling open and bright because there's no tint filter, while the texture adds visual interest that a completely smooth shade wouldn't have. It's a good choice for hallways, living rooms, bedrooms or dining areas where you want both light and a touch of design detail. The Bradley range includes this ribbed style in clear, amber, smoke and other colours, so you can pick the finish that suits your scheme.

How It Works

The ribbing is cut into the glass during manufacture, creating grooves that catch light and create subtle highlights on the shade surface. A G9 LED capsule bulb (maximum 10W, not included) sits behind the glass. The ribs naturally diffuse the light, so there's no harsh glare or hot spot on the ceiling or wall.

Where It Works Best

This shade is made for dry indoor environments. Living rooms, hallways, bedrooms and dining spaces are all good choices. The IP20 rating means it's not suitable for bathrooms, kitchens or any area where humidity levels are high.

Design Details

The value of a ribbed shade like this is that it adds visual texture and optical interest without obscuring the light. The grooves are part of the glass structure, not applied to the surface, so they catch light from multiple angles. Clear glass plus ribbing equals brightness with character.

Questions People Ask

Is the ribbing just decorative?
No, the ribbing actually affects how light behaves as it passes through. It breaks up direct rays into a more diffused, softer spread, which is why shades with texture are often better for avoiding glare than smooth ones.

Will the clear ribbed shade match my amber or smoke shades?
Yes, the Bradley range is designed for mixing. You could use clear on some arms and amber or smoke on others for a varied look that reads as intentional.

Can I clean the ribs easily?
Yes, dust sits on the raised edges but you can wipe it with a soft cloth. Just avoid abrasive cleaners that might scratch the glass.
