Simple and Clean and Elegant. While the more common shape is Round (options shown to the left here), your extra large lamp shade can also be a Square or Oval or Rectangle! Just give us a call if you are looking for shapes other than Round and we can price that out for you.   
Now, let your imagination go a little bit. If you are looking for something with a little more !WOW! - consider a multi-tiered oversized lampshade!    
Oversized Spiders: For our oversized shades, we use heavy duty 1/2" tubing for the spiders and 3/16" steel plates for the center fitter. The hole in the steel plates can be bored at any size you need for your project. Typically 1/2" for 7/16" threaded rod, but also can be 1 5/8" for European type sockets. The outer rings are made with 1/4" stainless steel wire - extremely strong and durable. Powder coating is optional - in the photos below the rings and spiders are powder coated in white.
Diffusers: Diffusers are the pieces of acrylic or polystyrene that sit in the top or bottom of the lampshade and (literally) diffuse the light bulb's direct light. Diffusers often are placed in the bottom of pendant lampshades when the lampshade sits above eye level, but can go in just about any lampshade. Acrylic diffusers are (by far) the most common type and are a milky white. Polystyrene diffusers are the same material used in the lampshade sides and are normally made in matching or contrasting material to the lampshade. Typically, if a white diffuser is desired, acrylic is used. If choosing a polystyrene diffuser, please put a note into the 'Special Instructions' area for your desired color (white, matching, or contrasting). Diffusers are optional and are not typical.
Lighting Them Up Jack of All Shades does not manufacture the electrical components nor the actual lighting on the inside of our shades - we specialize in just the lampshade itself. Typically, lighting kits are available at most BIG BOX stores or online at Amazon.com or ColorCord.com. We will simply need the measurement of the 'hole' in the center of our fitter for the final fixture that you are using. SHIPPING Please note: Shipping costs for an oversized lampshade are on a case by case basis. It depends *greatly* on the distance from our manufacturing facility in Alabama, the size of the lampshade, and carrier's shipping requirements, whether it needs a pallet or not, etc... Please call for shipping charges and we will review it with you for your particular project! |
