Fabula Dene 12cm Cross Pattern Round Glass Shade (E) Clear

Clear Glass with a Raised Cross Detail

Rather than a plain smooth surface, this 12cm shade has a cross pattern pressed into the clear glass, giving it a bit more presence when the light is on. It's a small change that adds texture and a slight play of light without affecting how bright the room is. The pattern gives it a more finished look than a bare bulb or a plain shade would.

Choosing Your Finish

This version keeps the clarity of clear glass but adds the raised cross detail for extra visual interest, so you get both brightness and pattern. It sits within the wider Dene range alongside the smooth shades, so if you decide you'd rather have plain glass or a tinted finish, those options exist within the same range.

How It Works

The shade has no bulb holder built in, it fits over the lamp in your existing Dene base, which is designed for bulbs up to 10W, and a bulb will need to be bought separately. It carries an IP44 rating, meaning it's protected against water splashed from any direction, which is why it can be used in wetter rooms of the house.

Where It Works Best

The IP44 rating covers bathroom zones 1 and 2, so this shade is fine mounted on a wall near a basin or bath, as long as it isn't directly in the path of running water. Our guide to bathroom lighting zones goes through what each zone actually permits. Beyond the bathroom, it fits wherever your Dene base is already installed, and the pattern gives the light a bit more character than a plain shade.

Design Details

The cross pattern is pressed into the glass itself, creating raised lines that catch the light rather than a flat, uninterrupted surface. Producing this detail needs a slightly thicker piece of glass than the smooth shades use, which is part of why this one weighs a little more. It's a small design touch aimed at people who want their fitting to look considered rather than purely functional.

Questions People Ask

Does the pattern affect how much light comes through?
Not meaningfully, the cross pattern adds texture and a little visual interest, but the shade is still clear glass so brightness isn't reduced.

Is a bulb included with this shade?
No, it's the glass shade only, fitting over the bulb already in your Dene base, which takes bulbs up to 10W.

Why does this weigh more than the smooth Dene shades?
The pressed pattern needs thicker glass to hold its shape, which is why this shade weighs more than the plain smooth version.
