Dar Filip Drum Pendant Shade

The Dar Filip Drum Pendant Shade is a 35cm drum lampshade from Dar's Filip range, designed as an easy-fit accessory for ceiling pendants or table lamp bases. The shade pairs decorative intent with practical performance, softening light to create a calm ambient glow suitable for living and dining spaces.

Formally cylindrical with uniform top and bottom diameters, the Filip shade features a dense, photoreal botanical print of tropical foliage on a crisp white background with deep and lighter green tones. Its substantial 35cm profile makes it appropriate as a main-room pendant or a larger table lamp shade that anchors a scheme.

The exterior is wrapped in a smooth faux silk that gives a slight sheen and refines the surface texture. This material also improves light diffusion compared with flat paper options. A reducer ring is supplied to broaden compatibility across common lamp holders.

Internally the shade diffuses light from a single bulb, producing a soft, balanced ambience rather than a focused beam. It accepts one lamp with a maximum rating of 60W GLS in standard E27 or B22 fittings; the included reducer ring allows use on E14 holders. Bulb is not included; the shade will dim when paired with a suitable dimmable lamp and compatible dimmer.

Installation is straightforward: the easy-fit design fits onto standard fittings without complex wiring. The shade is rated IP20 for indoor use only and is not suitable for wet or exterior locations. Warranty is two years standard, extendable to five years with online registration.
