Fabula Dene 12cm Ribbed Round Glass Shade (B) Amber

Warm Amber Tones Through Ribbed Glass

Deep vertical ribs run around this 12cm amber glass shade, giving it a strong textured look and a warm, golden cast to the light it lets through. It replaces a standard 12cm shade on an existing pendant or table lamp, an easy route to a completely different mood without any rewiring.

Choosing Your Finish

Amber glass takes the edge off bright white light, giving a cosier, more golden glow, and the ribbing adds depth so the shade reads differently depending on where you're standing. It's a good option if you want a fitting with genuine presence rather than something purely functional. The Dene range covers a number of textures and tones on this same round shape, so there are other options to compare if amber isn't the tone you're after.

How It Works

As a passive shade with no electrical parts of its own, it's rated for bulbs up to 10W, always sold separately, and it takes its dimming behaviour and electrical class from whatever fitting and bulb you use it with. Its IP44 rating protects it against splashing water from any direction.

Where It Works Best

With an IP44 rating, this shade is suitable for bathroom zones 1 and 2, our guide to bathroom lighting zones explains what those cover, so it can go above a sink or vanity unit, though not directly inside a shower. The warm tone also lends itself to dining rooms, living spaces and bedrooms where a softer, golden light is welcome.

Design Details

The colour runs through the glass itself rather than being a surface tint, and the ribs are formed at the same time, so both the tone and texture are permanent parts of the material. It's one of several finishes in the Dene shade collection, each built on the same ribbed form but with a different glass tone.

Questions People Ask

Does amber glass cut down a lot of light?
It changes the colour of the light more than the brightness, warming it up rather than dimming it significantly.

Will it suit a bathroom?
Yes, its IP44 rating covers zones 1 and 2, so above a sink or beside a mirror is fine, just keep it out of the shower enclosure itself.

What's the benefit of the ribbed texture?
It scatters the light a little more evenly and gives the shade a handcrafted, three dimensional look rather than a flat surface.
