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

A Smoky Tint on Ribbed Glass

This 12cm shade pairs the same deep ribbing as its siblings with a smoke tinted glass, landing somewhere between clear brightness and full colour. It's designed as a replacement for a 12cm pendant or table lamp shade, so fitting it is as simple as swapping out what's already there.

Choosing Your Finish

The smoke tone softens and slightly dims the light coming through, giving a more muted, atmospheric feel than clear glass, while the vertical ribs add a further layer of texture and shadow. It's a good middle ground if amber feels too warm and clear feels too plain. The same ribbed shade is also produced in other tones across the Dene range, so there's room to compare before deciding.

How It Works

Being a passive shade with no electrics of its own, it's rated for bulbs up to 10W, sold separately, and simply takes on the electrical class and dimming behaviour of whatever fitting it's paired with. Its IP44 rating protects it against splashing water reaching it from any direction.

Where It Works Best

With an IP44 rating, this shade suits bathroom zones 1 and 2, our guide to bathroom lighting zones covers exactly what that means, so it's fine above a sink or vanity unit, just not mounted directly in a shower. The smoky tone also works nicely in bedrooms, studies and living rooms where a calmer, moodier light is the goal.

Design Details

The smoke colour is worked into the glass itself during manufacture rather than added as a coating, and the ribbing is formed at the same time, so the two effects are genuinely part of the material. It's one of several finishes offered on this ribbed shape within the Dene collection of replacement shades.

Questions People Ask

Will smoke glass make the room too dim?
It softens the light rather than blocking much of it, so most people find it comfortable for everyday use rather than dim.

Is this suitable for a bathroom?
Yes, it's IP44 rated for zones 1 and 2, so above a vanity or beside a mirror works well, just keep it away from direct shower spray.

What's the difference between this and the amber version?
Both share the same ribbed shape, but smoke gives a cooler, greyer tint compared to amber's warm golden tone.
