Indoor use — IP20 rating

Astro French Drum Shade from the French range is a tapered fabric light shade designed to sit over a lamp or fitting and soften light. The shade’s minimalist profile and matte surface are intended to reduce glare while creating a considered ambient wash both upwards and downwards.

The design is defined by a subtle taper that distinguishes it from a standard drum. It is available in White and Putty and the tapered walls have been designed for nesting, making the shades stackable for compact storage and bulk packing.

Constructed with a rigid internal frame, the shade maintains its precise geometric form and presents clean, unadorned edges with no visible trim. The exterior is a uniformly textured matte fabric that complements contemporary and traditional lamp bases alike.

Open top and bottom apertures allow heat dissipation and a multi-directional light distribution, producing an angled wash of ambient light. The interior mounting ring provides a secure attachment point for a standard lamp socket or harp, and the shade functions as a decorative accessory to diffuse light and reduce glare. The fitting is rated IP20 for indoor use.

Shades are supplied in packs of two and are intended to be fitted to existing lamp sockets or harps; lamps and electrical fittings are supplied separately. The product is backed by a three-year manufacturer warranty for peace of mind.

At Lighting Design Online we look at shades as one element in a layered lighting scheme. The Astro French Drum Shade is a quiet, design-led choice that helps you achieve a balanced ambient wash with clarity and assurance. Its considered construction and packable form make it straightforward to specify for projects, and our advice can help you confirm compatibility and installation details for the right outcome.
