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

Clean Light, Textured Glass

This 12cm shade keeps the ribbed grooves of its sibling finishes but leaves the glass clear, so you get full brightness alongside a textured, tactile surface. As a replacement for a standard 12cm shade, it's a quick way to add some character to an existing pendant or table lamp without any rewiring involved.

Choosing Your Finish

Clear glass means nothing is lost in terms of brightness, while the vertical ribs give the shade a crafted look and break up what would otherwise be a plain glass surface. It works particularly well if you like the idea of texture but want to keep the light output as bright as possible. This ribbed design also comes in other glass tones within the Dene range, so it's worth comparing if you'd like something with more colour.

How It Works

There's no electrical component built into the shade itself, it's a passive cover rated for bulbs up to 10W, sold separately, that takes on the electrical characteristics of whatever fitting and bulb it's paired with. The IP44 rating protects against water splashing onto it from any direction.

Where It Works Best

This shade's IP44 rating means it's suitable for bathroom zones 1 and 2, see our guide to bathroom lighting zones for the full detail, so mounting it above a sink or next to a mirror is fine, as long as it's kept clear of the shower enclosure. Beyond the bathroom, it works well in kitchens, hallways and living rooms where bright, clear light matters.

Design Details

The ribs are formed into the glass as it's shaped, rather than cut or etched afterwards, so the texture is a genuine part of the material and won't fade or wear off with cleaning. It belongs to the wider Dene collection of round shades, which uses the same form across a handful of different textures and tones.

Questions People Ask

Does the ribbing block much light?
Barely. Because the glass itself is clear, most of the light comes through, the ribs mainly add texture rather than reducing brightness.

Can I fit this above my bathroom sink?
Yes, it's IP44 rated for bathroom zones 1 and 2, so above a sink or vanity unit is fine, just not directly inside a shower.

How is this different from the smoke or amber version?
Same ribbed shape and dimensions, but this one keeps the glass fully clear rather than tinted, so it suits rooms where you want maximum brightness.
