A cylinder \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/abat-jour\"\u003ependant\u003c\/a\u003e is thus easier to adjust than a wide bell.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWeight and fixing: what makes a lampshade fall\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWhat gives way is almost always the fixing, not the shade: a plug unsuitable for the ceiling, screws too short, a ceiling rose simply screwed into a plasterboard panel without reinforcement.
