The lampshades primary purpose is to reduce the glare from a lightsource and provide

unobtrusive pools of light in particular areas of a room, whilst supplementing the overall ambient level.

Here at Beeston Lighting we have  many different styles and finishes of shade and with the

development of halogen and energy saving lighting over the last few years a whole new range of

materials and designs have started to be used.

Traditional fabric shades concentrate on the use of materials such as Silk, Satin or Cotton are made

from stretching the material over a metal frame leaving a space of around 3cm between the fabric

and light source to allow for heat dispersion.
