What makes the Lighting Center shades great?
These shades are handmade in the U.S.A. and are of top quality,
made to last many years. Satisfaction guaranteed!
How do I care for my shades?
A clean white dry cloth works well for a light dusting. These
shades will last many years with ordinary care.
Does it matter the wattage of bulb I use?
Generally, no, but a bulb of over 100 watts is not recommended
to prevent the shade from drying out prematurely.
How do I know if a shade is too big?
It is a matter of preference, but the common standard is it is
too big if it goes way below the on/off switch. Remember, a shade
is meant to enhance a lamp, not to hide it!
How do I know if a shade is too small?
Again, it's preference, but if you can see too far above the on/off
switch it is too small.
What is a finial?
It is the highest point on the lamp. It holds the shade to the
lamp. Finials can be either decorative or functional.
Where do I buy finials?
We carry a complete line of the highest quality finials, from
animals to sports to brass ornaments.
All of our fabric shades have a soft fabric lining. The wire
fitter on all shades except the UNO is approximately 3/4" below
the top of the shade. The UNO shades have a 3" recession.
These are some of the most popular shades out of the thousands
we have in stock.
