Big Lampshades

[alice]

Is there any kind of relationship between the size of a lampshade and the quality of the light? I've noticed a so called Big Lampshade that produced a dank dimness not conducive to the clarity of vision usual in the free world.

You've obviously been living a shaded sheltered life

Indeed.

Ostentatious lightfittings appear to cause delusions of grandeur.

And a clear loss of common sense.

And custom.

Such lightfittings can get dusty over time affecting the luminosity.

As any proud housewife will tell you, the solution is rolling your sleeves up and giving the said lightfitting and all those crystal baubles a good spring clean. The sparkle is soon restored.

I've been thinking of getting one. It's all about the ambience.
