What Is a Chandelier Shade?
A chandelier shade is a replacement or upgrade shade compatible with standard chandelier arms, designed to modify light diffusion and aesthetics of existing fixtures. Chandelier shades attach to individual arms via clip-on, spider, or uno fittings -- transforming bare bulbs into softly diffused light sources.
