Fabula Bradley 12cm Round Clear with Inner Black Globe (C) Glass Shade

Two Layers of Glass, One Bold Silhouette

Rather than one piece of glass, this Bradley shade uses two: a clear outer cylinder wrapped around a solid black inner globe. The contrast gives it real presence on a wall or ceiling, whether the light is on or off, since the black shape reads clearly through the clear glass surrounding it. It's a good option if you want a fixture that looks deliberate rather than incidental.

Choosing Your Finish

The black inner globe has a matte surface, so it absorbs light rather than bouncing it around, which keeps the contrast against the clear outer glass sharp and graphic. It suits pared back, contemporary interiors especially well. The same nested design is available with frosted or gold inner globes elsewhere in the Bradley range, so you can pick a mood while keeping the same basic shape.

How It Works

This shade takes an LED Capsule bulb rated up to 10W, sold separately, which sits inside the black globe and shines out through the surrounding clear glass. Fitting it is simply a matter of sliding the whole shade onto your Bradley fixture's arm, since it's a shade rather than a wired fitting in its own right. At IP20, it's built for dry conditions and has no protection against moisture.

Where It Works Best

With an IP20 rating, keep this one to dry indoor rooms rather than bathrooms or anywhere splashes could reach it. The graphic look suits a dining pendant, a statement hallway light or a reading lamp where you want the fixture itself to be noticed. It also works well in pairs or small groups along a wall for a bit of repetition and rhythm.

Design Details

Both the clear outer and black inner globe are hand blown, so each shade carries small natural variations rather than being perfectly uniform. The nested construction is intentionally simple: two glass forms and nothing else, with the contrast doing all the visual work rather than any applied pattern or metal trim. The inner globe sits slightly taller than the outer cylinder, giving the whole shade a precise, considered proportion.

Questions People Ask

Why is there a separate inner globe as well as the outer glass?
The two layers work together, with the clear outer protecting the black inner and letting light escape, while the black globe controls how that light spreads and gives the shade its distinctive look.

Is a 10W bulb bright enough?
An LED Capsule bulb up to 10W gives a good level of light for most ambient or accent uses, though it's worth checking your specific fixture's recommendations too.

Can this be used in a bathroom?
No, it's IP20 rated, so it's meant for dry indoor rooms rather than anywhere with moisture or splashing.
