Fabula Dene 12cm Smooth Round Glass Shade (A) Clear

Simple Clear Glass to Brighten a Dene Fitting

This 12cm round shade is a straightforward clear glass replacement, letting the light through with barely any colour cast. It's a good option if your existing shade has cracked or you'd simply rather have full, honest brightness instead of a tinted glow. The compact size keeps it in proportion with smaller Dene bases.

Choosing Your Finish

Clear glass is the choice when you want maximum light output without any colour filtering. It works equally well in modern and more traditional rooms since it doesn't impose a tone of its own. The Dene range also comes in other glass finishes, so there's room to switch to something warmer or moodier later if your taste changes.

How It Works

This shade has no electrics of its own, it's a glass cover that fits over the lamp holder in your existing Dene base, which is designed for bulbs up to 10W. You'll need to source your own bulb to suit the fitting, as none is supplied with the shade. The IP44 rating means it copes with water splashed from any angle, which is useful in wetter parts of the home.

Where It Works Best

Being IP44 rated, this shade is suitable for bathroom zones 1 and 2, so it can sit on a wall fitting near a basin without issue, provided it's not directly under running water. Our guide to bathroom lighting zones sets out exactly what each zone allows. Elsewhere in the home it simply goes wherever your Dene base is fitted, brightening the space with clean, uncoloured light.

Design Details

Clear glass keeps the focus on the light itself rather than the shade, and the smooth surface here has no texture or pattern to break up the beam. Because there's no tint, any variation in bulb colour will show through more clearly than with a coloured shade, so it pays to choose a bulb with a colour temperature you like.

Questions People Ask

Is a bulb included with this shade?
No, this is the glass shade on its own. It fits over the bulb already in your Dene base, which takes bulbs up to 10W.

Will I see the bulb through the glass?
Yes, clear glass doesn't diffuse or hide the bulb the way a tinted shade would, so it's worth picking a bulb you're happy to have on display.

Is this safe to use in a bathroom?
Yes, it's IP44 rated, covering bathroom zones 1 and 2, as long as it isn't mounted directly in the path of running water.
