UK Shade Carrier - Duplex to Ceiling Fitting

Why Choose a UK Shade Carrier?

A UK Shade Carrier provides a secure, connection by allowing you to tighten the lamp holder directly onto the carrier. This eliminates the annoying movement you often experience when using European fitting shade carriers with reducers.

What Does a Shade Carrier Do?

Lampshades with duplex fittings (116mm) offer excellent versatility. Shade carriers connect lampshades fitted with duplex rings (116mm) to table lamps, giving you complete control over the height positioning between your lampshade and lamp base. Different shade carriers offer varying height adjustments to suit your needs.

Choosing the Right Size

Match your lampshade diameter to the recommended shade carrier height for optimal proportions:

• 14" diameter shade → 4" shade carrier
• 16" diameter shade → 5" shade carrier
• 18" diameter shade → 6" shade carrier
• 20" diameter shade → 7" shade carrier
• 22" diameter shade → 8" shade carrier

This sizing ensures your lampshade sits at the perfect height for balanced proportions and proper light distribution. A good rule of thumb is that the shade should sit high enough that you can't see the bulb from eye level when standing, but not so high that it looks disconnected from the base.
