Fabula Deacon 10cm Round Opal Glass

Soft White Light Without the Glare

This 10cm Deacon shade in opal glass takes the edge off a bare bulb, spreading its light into a gentle, even glow instead of a single hard point. The milky white finish keeps things bright without feeling harsh, which makes it an easy upgrade for a lamp or pendant that currently feels too clinical.

Choosing Your Finish

Opal glass has a soft, frosted look that reads as neutral rather than decorative, letting it blend into almost any room. The Deacon shade also comes in other finishes across the range, so if you want more colour than a plain white glow, there are alternatives to explore.

How It Works

As a shade rather than a full fitting, this piece has no bulb holder of its own and simply fits over an existing pendant or lamp base with a 10cm diameter opening. The frosted glass diffuses light evenly across its surface rather than letting it beam through in one direction. You'll keep using your existing bulb, as none is supplied with the shade.

Where It Works Best

Being on the smaller side, this shade suits bedside lamps, compact hallway pendants, and reading lights where you want soft, even illumination rather than a bold visual statement. It also works well arranged in small groups above a breakfast bar or kitchen table.

Design Details

Part of the Deacon range, this shade uses genuine opal glass, where the milky colour runs through the material itself rather than sitting on the surface as a coating. That means the finish won't wear away or fade with time, and the simple rounded shape is designed to blend into a room rather than dominate it.

Questions People Ask

Does opal glass reduce the brightness much?
Not really. It softens and spreads the light rather than dimming it significantly, so the room still feels well lit.

Is a bulb included with this shade?
No, you'll need to keep using the bulb from your existing pendant or lamp base, as the shade is sold separately.

Will the white colour fade over time?
No, the opal colouring runs through the glass itself rather than being a surface coating, so it stays looking the same for years.
