Inspired by vintage lamp shades from the 1930s, I wanted to see if I could create my own modern version of the cone shaped lamp shade. This shade has a 12 inch bottom diameter and comes to a complete point at the top. The look is stunning. It was a challenge to create, but I think the end result is worth it.
Because of the unusual shape of this lamp shade, there are some extra considerations when choosing this lamp shade. Since there is no hole at the top to allow the heat to escape, this shade can only be used with a low wattage, LED light bulb. Preferably, a shorter or globe light bulb would be ideal. Because of this shade shape, it has the potential to get warm quicker, so this would be a nice solution for an accent lamp that isn't left on for long periods of time. Too much trapped heat can cause the shade to yellow and become brittle prematurely.
This shade comes standard with my triangle stitch detail in ecru.
Pro Tip: For optimal performance, choose your bulb based on your shade size and not on what your lamp base can handle.
While LEDs emit less heat than the old incandescent bulbs, heat output is not the only thing that affects the well-being of your shade. Lumen output can still have an affect on how quickly a shade yellows with time. A larger shade can handle a higher wattage (or lumen output) bulb, and a smaller shade can handle a lower wattage bulb
Lumen output is how we determine wattage equivalents. A 60W incandescent light bulb that uses 60 watts of power gives off a minimum of 800 lumens of light. A 60W equivalent LED light bulb also gives off a minimum of 800 lumens. This lumen output can still affect a lampshade over time, even if we don't see any immediate damage being done and it never gets warm. I recommend not using more than a 40W equivalent in this shade.
