Using our wooden lampshades in the USA

The cap on most E26 phenolic pendant sockets is too wide for our wooden shades. Maybe a different phenolic socket would fit these shades, but all of our customers so far want to replicate the brass socket we use on our site.

The apertures on the top of our shades are designed for an E27 lampsocket, normally 41mm in diameter. But US sockets are normally slimmer.

However, Brighttia has started using the same UK/EU standard brass lampholder with an E26 fitting. This fits our shade like a glove!

Please go to the Brighttia site and either search for: “premium brass shade ready pendant” if you would like a hard-wired pendant or search for: “premium brass shade ready plug in”if you would like a plug-in pendant.

Alternatively, use the menu to select Lamp Parts > Sockets and Covers and there you should be able to find a "Shade-Ready Brass E26 Light Bulb Socket" available in three finishes.
