Astro French Drum Shade

The Astro French Drum Shade is a tapered lampshade from Astro's French range. Rendered in a fine-woven fabric, the shade's frustum silhouette and integrated top diffuser give it a contemporary, considered presence for interior lighting schemes.

The design features a subtle taper that draws the eye and creates an angled wash of light. This shade is offered in Putty Fabric and White Fabric and is supplied in packs of two; the stackable design reduces packaging volume for easier project handling.

Construction is fabric over a neatly finished frame with rolled edges and a translucent white diffuser fitted into the top opening. The diffuser is flush-mounted to hide the light source and provide an even upward glow while maintaining a clean exterior finish.

Light is directed both upwards, via the top diffuser, and downwards through the wide open base, making the shade suitable for ambient applications and for task-orientated lamp use on table or floor bases. The integrated diffuser helps reduce direct glare when the lamp is viewed from above.

Supplied as a shade accessory in twin packs, the product carries a 3-year warranty and is rated IP20 for interior, dry zones. Check fitter compatibility with your lamp base and intended lamp choice before specifying; details such as driver, lamp or dimming depend on the chosen lamp and control equipment.

At Lighting Design Online we prioritise design-led clarity so you can specify with confidence. The Astro French Drum Shade is a simple, well-made accessory that helps achieve balanced ambience and controlled glare; our team can advise on compatibility and project-friendly details to ensure the right lighting outcome with professional assurance.
