Fabula Springfield 16cm Cylinder Shade - Smoked Fade Glass - Shade Only

Smoked Fade Glass That Softens and Filters Light

This 16cm cylinder shade from the Springfield range is made from smoked fade glass, darker at the top and softening to a lighter tone towards the base. This gradient creates a subtle visual effect that becomes more pronounced once a bulb is fitted inside. The shade is designed to sit on standard E27 lamp holders, making it a simple way to refresh or personalise an existing pendant or wall light without needing to replace the whole fitting.

Choosing Your Finish

The smoked fade glass is a single material, but the gradient effect means it performs differently depending on the bulb colour temperature and wattage you pair it with. Warm bulbs will emphasize the golden tones in the fade, while cooler whites show the graphite depth. This versatility is why it works as a replacement shade across different fittings and room schemes.

How It Works

This is a shade only, with no electrical components, switches or installation required beyond sliding it onto an existing E27 fitting. It works with any standard E27 fixture, whether that's a pendant, wall light or table lamp base. The smoked glass filters and softens whatever light source is inside, giving a moodier, less bright result than a clear or white shade would. The gradient from dark to light at the base helps direct some light downward while the upper part absorbs more, creating a specific lighting mood.

Where It Works Best

This shade suits bedrooms, dining rooms, living rooms and hallways where you want to create softer, more atmospheric lighting. It's especially useful in spaces with multi pendant clusters where you might mix and match different shades for visual interest. Because it's a shade only, you're free to move it between different fixtures as your rooms evolve, or use it to refresh a tired looking pendant without the cost of a complete new fitting.

Design Details

The smoked fade glass is a material technique rather than a simple coating. The darker concentration at the top and the fade toward the bottom means each shade has its own subtle variation in tone. This isn't a perfectly uniform product, which is actually part of its appeal, as it gives the impression of something made rather than mass produced. The cylinder form is simple and geometric, so it suits contemporary spaces as well as traditional rooms.

Questions People Ask

Will this shade fit my existing light fitting?
If your fitting has a standard E27 lamp holder, yes. It's designed to fit that standard holder size, so as long as your current or replacement fixture takes an E27 bulb, this shade will sit on it properly.

How dark is the light when it's fitted?
Quite soft and moody. The smoked glass absorbs quite a bit of light compared to a clear or white shade, so a 40W or 60W bulb inside will give you a gentle glow rather than bright task lighting.

Can I use this with a dimmer?
Yes, as long as your existing fixture and bulb are dimmable. The shade itself has no electrical components so it doesn't affect dimmability.
