A Bold Drum Shade in Black Velvet With a Gold Inner
This Searchlight Drum Shade is a generously sized 40cm shade in black velvet with a warm gold inner, made to refresh an existing lamp or pendant with a softer, more textured look. It's a shade only, sold to fit an existing base or fitting rather than as a complete light.
Materials and Finish
The frame is mild steel, wrapped in a black velvet fabric on the outside with a warm gold tone lining the inside, so the glow from the bulb picks up a golden cast once it's lit.
How It Works
It's designed to fit a B22, E14 or E27 lamp holder (bulb not supplied), so it works with your existing lamp base or pendant fitting rather than needing a new light of its own.
Where It Works Best
The Drum Shade suits a floor lamp, table lamp or pendant in the bedroom, dining room, living room or hallway, anywhere you want to soften and update the look of a light you already own.
About Searchlight Electric

Does this come with a lamp base or pendant fitting?
No, this listing is for the drum shade only. It's designed to fit onto an existing lamp base or pendant fitting rather than as a complete light with its own wiring.
What bulb do I need?
It fits a B22, E14 or E27 lamp holder, and the bulb is not included, so you can choose the fitting type and brightness that suits your existing base.
What size is the shade?
The shade measures 40cm in diameter with a maximum height of 24cm, so it's worth checking these measurements against your existing fitting before ordering.
Can I use this shade outdoors or in a bathroom?
No. It's rated IP20, which means it's suitable for indoor use only and should be kept away from damp or humid rooms such as bathrooms.
