A lighting question for someone ..........

Have a question for all you interior designers out there.

Am looking for a really large ceiling light shade similar to this one in the link above - as I'm looking for one that doesn't leave the light bulb in view/exposed.

Is there a particular name for these things? - lamp shades, but with a base.

Also any idea of possible sources?

Any advice would be gratefully appreciated.

They tend to be called pendant light fittings and/or hanging shades.

To my knowledge, no specific name for one with a closed base, it's just a design feature.

You could try general high street/department stores e.g Habitat, Conran, Ikea, House of Fraser, Selfridges etc, or a specialist lighting shop e.g Christopher Wray.

Or try a google search for oversized pendant lights...

It's usually called a drum shade.

I've had them made in the past, try this guy Geoffrey Harris

Speak to him on the phone, he knows more about lighting than most.

Actually it's a " Drum shade with diffuser "

Fab' - thanks for the help. I've tried the google seach for the oversized pendant shades, but the vast majority have the open bottoms .... will try again with 'drum shade .......'.

Open bottoms? Are we back on Liam Fox again?

tllm2 - what's wrong with the one in your link?

Was ideally wanting even bigger ones.
