Fabula Deacon 8cm Round Black Frosted Glass

Small Shape, Big Impact

This 8cm frosted glass shade from the Deacon range is a neat way to refresh an existing pendant fitting or light run. The frosted black glass softens glare from the bulb and creates an even, diffused glow while the dark tone means it sits quietly during the day, only becoming a visual feature once the light is switched on.

Choosing Your Finish

Black frosted glass is a versatile choice that works with contemporary, traditional, or eclectic interiors. The frosting makes the shade opaque, so the bulb is hidden and light emerges as a soft glow rather than a point source. The black tone is neutral enough to disappear into most colour schemes.

How It Works

This is a replacement shade designed to fit onto an existing pendant fitting or linear light run. It's not a complete light fitting on its own. The frosted glass diffuses light from the bulb behind it, removing harsh spots and glare. Being small and lightweight, it's easy to install and can be swapped in and out as you update a fitting.

Where It Works Best

As an accessory shade, this works anywhere you have an existing pendant or light run that you want to update. Popular choices include kitchen islands, dining tables, or hallways where a small shade adds visual softness without taking up much space. The compact size also makes it suitable for smaller pendant bases or fittings designed for accessories.

Design Details

The appeal of this shade lies in its simplicity and versatility. A small, spherical shape means light scatters evenly in all directions, and the frosted surface ensures no direct glare. The black finish means it integrates visually with most colour palettes while still providing the practical benefit of a diffused light source. It's a minimalist approach to updating existing fixtures.

Questions People Ask

What fitting does this shade work with?
This shade is designed to fit standard pendant bases. Check with the manufacturer of your existing fitting or get in touch with us to confirm compatibility before ordering.

Does the frosted glass reduce brightness?
The frosted surface diffuses the light and removes glare, but doesn't significantly reduce the total light output. It just spreads that light more evenly across the room instead of creating a single bright point.

Can I use this shade with LED bulbs?
Yes, it works with LED, halogen, or incandescent bulbs. The frosting is effective at softening the light from any bulb type, though LED bulbs are more energy efficient if you're looking to run the light regularly.
