Fabula Bradley 12cm Round (B) Opal Glass Shade

Soft, Even Light From a Simple Round Shade

Not every fixture needs to draw attention to itself, and this 12cm opal shade is proof of that. Fitted onto a Bradley arm, the milky white glass takes the edge off the bulb underneath and spreads a calm, even glow rather than a hard spot of light. It's an easy way to soften a fixture without changing anything else about the room.

Choosing Your Finish

Opal glass has a gentle, frosted look that works in almost any setting, from a plain modern room to somewhere with more traditional detailing. It won't clash with existing metalwork since the glass itself does the talking rather than a coloured finish. If you'd prefer more visual character, the Bradley range also covers clear, smoked and iridescent shades, all built to the same 12cm size.

How It Works

Fit an LED Capsule bulb, bought separately, then slide the shade onto your Bradley fixture's arm to complete the look. As a shade rather than a full fitting, there's no wiring to think about, just a straightforward push fit onto the existing arm. The IP20 rating means it's built for normal indoor conditions rather than anywhere that sees splashing or damp.

Where It Works Best

Being IP20 rated, this shade belongs in dry rooms only. It works nicely over a desk or reading chair where you want soft, glare free light, and equally well in a bedroom or living room where a gentler glow suits the mood better than a bright, direct beam. Keep it away from bathrooms, kitchens near the sink, or anywhere it might catch moisture.

Design Details

The milky quality of opal glass comes from fine particles introduced during the blowing process, which scatter light as it passes through rather than letting it beam straight out. That's what gives the shade its soft, diffused character. The plain cylindrical shape keeps the focus on that diffusion rather than on any additional detailing, so it fits comfortably into a Bradley fixture without competing for attention.

Questions People Ask

Does the opal glass hide the bulb completely?
Yes, the milky finish is dense enough that you see diffused light rather than the bulb itself.

Is this suitable for a bathroom?
No, it's rated IP20, which means dry indoor rooms only, so it isn't intended for bathrooms or anywhere damp.

Will it fit any Bradley fitting?
It's made for Bradley fixtures with a 12cm round shade mount on an adjustable arm, so it's worth checking your fitting matches before ordering.
