Home Lamp Shades

Opal, milk, frosted, clear, amber and ribbed glass shades are commonly used for residential lighting. The best choice depends on the fixture type, interior style and preferred lighting effect. Opal and milk glass provide soft diffusion for bedrooms; clear and ribbed glass add decorative character for dining rooms and living areas.

Yes. JX Lampshade supports custom sizes, shapes, colors, finishes, openings, samples, molds and packaging for residential lighting collections and home decoration projects. Provide a fixture drawing, old sample or dimensional specification and we will review feasibility and prepare a sample proposal.

Opal, milk and frosted glass shades are most suitable for bedrooms because they provide softer light diffusion and help reduce glare. A frosted or milk glass shade on a bedside table lamp creates a comfortable reading atmosphere without harsh direct light.

Clear, amber, smoke and ribbed glass shades are suitable for dining room pendants when the design requires decorative detail and a warm residential atmosphere. Amber glass creates a warm golden glow; ribbed clear glass refracts light for visual interest; smoke glass adds modern contrast.

Yes. Replacement glass shades can be reviewed based on an old sample, fixture photo, dimensions, opening size and fitter structure. Send photos, measurements and the fitter collar diameter and we can check against our mould library or confirm tooling requirements for a replacement.

Please provide fixture type, glass shape, diameter and height, opening size, fitter collar structure, glass color, surface finish, quantity, drawing or sample photo, packaging requirement and delivery destination. The more detail you can provide, the faster we can prepare an accurate quotation.

Opal glass is made with a mineral compound mixed into the glass batch, giving it a uniform white milky appearance and consistent light diffusion throughout the glass wall. Frosted glass is produced by acid-etching or sandblasting a clear glass surface, creating a matte texture on the outside while the interior of the glass remains clear. In practice, opal glass tends to produce a softer, more even glow — well suited for pendant lights and ceiling fixtures. Frosted glass transmits slightly more light and works well for wall sconces, bathroom fixtures and reading lamps where some directional light is still needed.

Yes. Fitter collar diameter — the opening at the base of the glass shade that fits over the fixture collar ring — is one of the most commonly customised dimensions for home lighting collections. Standard fitter sizes range from 38 mm (E14 small pendants) to 57 mm, 76 mm and 108 mm for larger pendant and table lamp fixtures. If your fixture uses a non-standard collar size, provide the internal diameter of the shade opening and JX Lampshade can confirm whether the dimension matches an existing mould or requires a small tooling adjustment.

Minimum order quantities depend on the production method and whether a custom mould is required. For profiles from our existing mould library — including standard globes, bell shades and dome profiles — sample orders from 1 to 10 pieces are accepted for fit testing and colour approval. Small batch orders from 50 to 200 pieces are available for non-standard colours or finishes on existing profiles. For entirely new shapes requiring new mould tooling, minimum order quantities are typically 500 to 1,000 pieces to cover tooling amortisation. Contact us with your profile requirement and we will confirm the applicable MOQ and lead time.

Pendant lights above dining tables are typically viewed from seated eye level, so the visual quality of the glass shade is more noticeable than in ceiling or floor fixtures. Amber glass creates a warm inviting glow that flatters food presentation and creates a comfortable dining atmosphere. Clear glass with vertical ribbing refracts light across the table surface while adding decorative texture. Smoke or smoked glass provides a modern refined look for contemporary dining interiors. For a softer effect, opal glass diffuses the bulb entirely and reduces glare for diners seated directly below. All of these options are available as custom pendant shades with OEM collar dimensions matched to your fixture.

Yes. JX Lampshade uses a multi-layer protective packaging system specifically designed for fragile glass lamp shades in international export. Each shade is individually wrapped in EPE polyethylene foam with a dedicated fitter collar foam ring to protect the rim from chipping. The wrapped shade is placed inside a formed foam shell insert that provides a minimum 50 mm clearance on all sides. Individual inner boxes are packed into a double-wall corrugated master export carton rated to the combined gross weight. For larger globes above 250 mm diameter or thin-wall hand-blown profiles, additional foam wall thickness and individual outer boxes are used. This packaging configuration is designed to pass ISTA 2A multi-orientation drop testing for international freight.
