- Check the clearance around the lamp. Is the lamp placed in a corner or next to a piece of furniture? Remember that a large lamp requires extra space.
- All of our lampshades are handcrafted using flame retardant PVC, which means there are no maximum power requirements for our lampshades.
- You also need to consider the type of bulb, a filament bulb will emit a different hue than a compact fluorescent bulb.
- The color and coating of the lampshade will also contribute to the color of the light emitted. A lampshade with a metallic coating will reflect the light giving a warmer glow, but no light can penetrate the sides of the lampshade, which means that the light source is directed upwards and downwards.
– A light-colored cotton or linen lampshade, without a double lining, will diffuse the light in 4D, meaning the light source will not only be directed up and down, but will also shine from the sides.
– A dark-colored cotton or linen lampshade, without lining, will also diffuse the light in 4D, and the light emitted from the sides will be softer.
