Selecting Ball Shades
Ball shades are measured by
- Bottom Fitter: most ball shades have an open, straight-sided base fitting a 4″ fitter shade holder.
- Height: shade should be proportional to lamp. Height is measured by inserting a ruler inside shade.
The right Chimney
- Chimney height must be taller than shade.
- Bulge of chimney must be narrow enough to slide through interior of shade base. The maximum bulge size to fit through our ball shades is 3-5/8″
Large ball shades are customarily used on tall banquet lamps and piano lamps. Smaller ruffled top ball shades are typically seen on shorter banquet lamps and some table lamps.
