Dar Shade Carrier

The Dar Shade Carrier is a compact 5-inch (12.7 cm) shade carrier from Dar, designed to support and elevate a lampshade above a lamp base. Its minimalist wire construction and white coated finish give a clean, understated profile that suits considered interiors.

The carrier has a tapered, upright geometry formed by four vertical wire struts that flare gently from a circular base to the top rim. The top rim is contoured with four symmetrical indentations to seat a standard shade spider and keep the shade centred.

Made from a lightweight wire frame finished in a uniform white coating, the carrier is engineered to remain discreet once a shade is fitted. The base includes a flat circular mounting ring with a central opening designed to fit over a standard lamp holder.

The open-wire design prevents the carrier from obstructing light or casting significant shadows, allowing the shade to deliver an even ambient glow. Use this carrier where a slight elevation of the shade is needed for proportion and to clear the lamp socket.

Installation is straightforward: the carrier sits over a standard lamp holder and provides a stable platform for the shade spider to rest on. Lamps, bulbs and shades are supplied separately. The product carries a 2-year standard warranty, extendable to 5 years with online registration.
