Fabula Bradley 12cm Smooth Round Glass Shade (D) - Opal

Opal Glass for Gentle, Even Light

This 12cm smooth shade in opal glass delivers a soft, milky diffusion that spreads light evenly throughout a space without harsh spots or glare. The bulb stays completely hidden, keeping the look clean and understated while the rounded form suits almost any interior style.

Choosing Your Finish

Opal glass is prized for its gentle light diffusion and timeless appeal. It works equally well in traditional and contemporary settings, acting as a neutral canvas that lets the room's other elements stand out. The milky quality keeps everything soft and inviting without sacrificing usable light output.

How It Works

This shade only product slots directly onto your existing Bradley fitting using the standard fixing size. The IP20 rating means it's for dry indoor areas only, so keep it away from bathrooms, steamy kitchens, or anywhere moisture could potentially damage the glass.

Where It Works Best

The neutral, soft quality of opal glass makes this shade work in any room. Living rooms, bedrooms, hallways, kitchens (away from steam) and dining areas all benefit from the gentle, diffused light it provides. It's particularly good in spaces where you want the light to be functional but unobtrusive.

Design Details

Opal glass has a distinctive milky translucence that comes from the glass composition itself rather than a coating or frosting technique. This gives it durability and consistency, while the smooth cylindrical form keeps the overall design timeless and unfussy.

Questions People Ask

Is opal glass the same as frosted?
Similar effect but different. Opal is a specific type of milky glass that's more durable and consistent than frosted finishes, which are surface treated.

Will this be bright enough?
Yes, despite the soft appearance. Opal glass diffuses light evenly but doesn't significantly reduce the total light output from the bulb.

Can I mix finishes on a multi arm fitting?
Absolutely. If your fitting has multiple arms, you could use different shade finishes for a more varied look, or stick with all opal for consistency.
