Dar Shade Carrier

The Dar Shade Carrier is a purposeful lighting accessory by Dar, designed to bridge the gap between a lamp base and a lampshade. Its open, vertical wireframe and smooth white coating give a clean, unobtrusive profile that suits considered interior schemes. The carrier elevates the shade to provide clearance above the lampholder and improve proportion.

The form is straightforward: a circular base ring connects to four slender vertical supports and a rectangular top frame with recessed notches at each corner. The notches are intended to locate a shade's internal ring securely, keeping the shade centred and stable when fitted.

Constructed as a thin-profile metal frame with a uniform white finish, the carrier is lightweight yet designed to stay discreet beneath a fitted shade. The base ring is sized to sit onto a standard lampholder, and the overall height is 17.8cm, offering significant clearance for the lamp and shade assembly.

At 17.8cm tall the carrier is particularly useful with shades that have a larger internal ring, allowing the light source room and helping maintain balance in the finished lamp. Once installed beneath a shade it remains largely invisible, preserving the intended ambience without adding bulk.

Installation is simple: the base ring fits over a standard lamp socket and the shade's internal ring rests in the notched top frame. Lamps and shades are not included. The product carries Dar's standard two-year warranty, extended to five years when you complete online registration.

As lighting designers we specify small, reliable details like this shade carrier because they solve proportion and sit issues quietly and effectively. Lighting Design Online offers clear, project-friendly guidance to ensure the carrier integrates with your lamp, achieving the right outcome with confidence and clarity.
