{"title":"Transparent lampshades","description":"\u003cp\u003eA transparent lamp shade shows the bulb and spreads light without filtering it: it is the choice for a bedside lamp or floor lamp where you want a clear, readable glow with no opaque halo. The selection brings together six glass designs, often smoked, in drop, ball or dome shapes, all fitted with an E27 socket and intended for indoor IP20 use.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2 id=\"lumiere\"\u003eWhat light does a transparent lamp shade give?\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA transparent lamp shade shows the bulb and spreads direct light without masking the output. Smoked glass gives a softer result, clear glass stays sharper. The shape decides the direction: a drop or a dome pushes light downwards, a ball spreads it around the E27 socket.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe result also changes with the fitting: a lamp shade close to the eye (bedside) makes more of an impression than one set high on a stand.

Smoked glass keeps the transparency but softens the brightness, which makes the lamp more discreet whether on or off. On a bedside lamp, the smoked version is easier on the eye when reading late; on a floor lamp, clear glass gives a more definite point of light.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe small globe \u003ca href=\"\/products\/luminaire-abat-jour-spherique-verre-fume-brillant-brillanta\"\u003eBrillanta\u003c\/a\u003e illustrates the smoked look well: ø15 cm, H 11.7 cm, glass, smoked and transparent.

With clear glass, a bulb that is too powerful is directly visible: prefer a bulb whose shape fits inside the lamp shade without sticking out below the lower edge. A bulb with a visible filament makes the most of transparency, an opaque bulb makes it softer.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAs a general guide, a warm light bulb (around 2700 K) suits a bedroom or living room, a more neutral light (around 4000 K) suits a work table.
