Fabula Dene 12cm Round Segment Glass Shade (K) Opal

Faceted Segments in Soft Opal Glass

This 12cm shade is divided into clean geometric segments, moulded from a milky opal glass that gives it a softer look than a plain clear or frosted finish. It's built as a replacement shade for a standard 12cm pendant or table lamp fitting, so updating an existing light is as simple as switching the shade.

Choosing Your Finish

Opal glass diffuses light generously, spreading it evenly rather than letting it shine through as a single bright point, and the segmented shape adds strong geometric lines on top of that softness. It's a good option if you want a fitting with real visual structure. The same segmented shape and other finishes can be found elsewhere in the Dene range, worth a look if opal isn't quite the tone you want.

How It Works

As a passive, non electric shade, it's rated for use with bulbs up to 10W, always sold separately, and takes on the dimming and electrical class of the fitting and bulb it's paired with. The IP44 rating protects it against splashing water 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 sets out exactly what that means, so it can sit above a sink or beside a mirror, just not directly inside a shower enclosure. The soft opal glow also works well in kitchens, hallways and bedrooms where you want gentle, evenly spread light.

Design Details

The segments are formed as part of the glass shaping process, giving the shade a crisp, structured surface that catches light differently depending on the angle. It belongs to the Dene collection of shades, which applies a handful of different textures and finishes to the same round form.

Questions People Ask

What does opal glass look like once lit?
It glows softly and evenly rather than showing a bright bulb point, since the milky finish spreads the light across the whole surface.

Can this go in a bathroom?
Yes, it's IP44 rated for zones 1 and 2, so above a vanity or beside a mirror is fine, just keep it out of the shower itself.

Will the segment lines wear away?
No, they're formed into the glass structure itself, so they're permanent and won't fade or rub off with cleaning.
