Securing Lampshades to Lampholders: Comprehensive Guide to Lampfix's Shade Rings

Shade Rings are designed to secure lampshades to lampholders, providing a stable and aesthetically pleasing lighting solution. Typically, two shade rings are needed per lampholder, unless the lampholder already features a shoulder for the shade carrier to rest on. It's crucial to verify the compatibility of the lampholder with shade rings before installation.

We offer a range of shade rings tailored to different lampholder materials and types. Matching the right shade ring to your lampholder ensures a seamless fit and optimal performance. Here's a breakdown of the various shade rings and their corresponding lampholders:
