Fabula Springfield 30cm Globe Shade - Smoked Fade Glass - Shade Only

Softened Light Through Smoked Glass

This 30cm globe shade from the Springfield range wraps your light source in a gradient of smoked glass that transitions from deep at the crown to progressively clearer towards the base. The effect is gentle and forgiving, allowing light to spread outward and downward rather than pooling in a single hot spot. It's sold as a shade only, meant to sit atop an E27 lamp holder, making it ideal if you want to refresh the look of an existing pendant or fitting without overhaul.

Choosing Your Finish

The smoked fade finish is the signature element here: darker glass at the top gradually lightens towards the bottom, creating visual depth and softening the light in one move. The glass itself is robust and easy to keep clean, waking up with just a wipe rather than collecting dust as fabric might.

How It Works

This is a simple shade designed to fit standard E27 lamp holders. It's rated IP20, which is suited to indoor dry locations where it won't encounter splashing water or damp conditions.

Where It Works Best

The understated globe shape and compact size make it at home above a dining table, over a kitchen island, in a hallway, or in any bedroom or living space where you want clean, unfussy lighting. Its neutral colour works alongside most existing decor without competing for attention.

Design Details

The smoked glass construction gives the fitting a gentle quality that pure clarity can't achieve. By allowing light through uneven density, the shade creates a diffused, warm glow rather than the harder light you'd get from clear glass alone. The glass is robust enough for frequent cleaning and doesn't yellow or degrade over time like some materials do.

Questions People Ask

What's the difference between a smoked shade and clear glass?
The smoked finish filters light through darker glass at the top, gradually becoming clearer toward the bottom. This creates a gentler, more diffused glow than clear glass would give, and adds visual depth to the shade itself.

Will this shade fit my existing lamp?
If your lamp has a standard E27 lamp holder, also called an ES fitting, this 30cm shade will fit. Check yours before ordering if you're unsure.

Can I use this in a kitchen?
Yes, it works well as a pendant shade in a kitchen. Just ensure your lamp holder and wiring are suitable for kitchen use.
