Authentic enamel lampshades, handmade in England
Coolicon® Lighting Accessories
Vitreous Enamel Ceiling Cup
With beautiful symmetry, our white Vitreous Enamel ceiling cups mirror the iconic gallery of our lampshades, both in size and shape. Made from the same high-grade steel and finished in matching white enamel, our ceiling cups are durable and electrically insulated. Lovers of the fine details, our ceiling cups ensure a sleek lighting design from ceiling to lampshade.
E27 Suspension Sets
The perfect companion set to complete your Coolicon look with a choice of three timeless lamp holders.
Brass lamp holders - Our signature brass lamp holder is designed to last for decades, just like our lampshades. Imprinted with “Coolicon” around the holder, this set is sure to place your shade centre stage.
Industrial lamp holders - These modern black plastic lamp holders pay homage to the traditional black Bakelite lamp holders from Coolicon’s industrial past.
Porcelain lamp holders - Our white porcelain fittings are modern, clean and simple; produced for the Standard Collection they pair elegantly with all of our shades.
Cable Type: With a natural sheen, our finely overbraided black fabric cable ensures your lampshade hangs with that extra touch of detail and class.
Adjustable drop length: Min 15cm – Max 150cm.
Bespoke lengths available.
Please note: Suspension sets do not include a ceiling hook.
Standard Suspension Sets are certified for UK and EU use only.
E27 Light Bulb
Can be used with both incandescent filament and LED bulbs.
For a traditional look we suggest filament-style squirrel-cage or pear-shaped bulbs.
Coolicon® Lampshade Materials / Size / Weight
Our Large 1933™ Design lampshade provides a greater ambient light into the room than the Original 1933 due to the lightbulb sitting slightly higher in the larger gallery opening. This design also allows for a wider and softer cone of light to be emitted below. Sharing the same visual language and proportions as the Original 1933 Design™ shade, this larger design shapes light differently to suit main room or statement lighting.
Ø400mm x 245mm - Approx weight: 1.5kg
Compatible with: E27 and E26 fittings
Light bulb wattage: Max 60W filament / 18W LED – 220-240V
Recommended shape: Squirrel-cage ST58, or ST64
Suspension set and light bulb sold separately.
Lamp holder hole size: Ø40mm
Cleaning your Vitreous Enamel lampshade
Due to the glasslike Vitreous Enamel finish, the lampshade can easily be cleaned with a soft cloth.
For stubborn marks, a high-quality window/glass cleaner can be applied to the cloth then passed over the lampshade. Care should always be taken to avoid contact with the Coolicon badge.
Low bedroom ceilings? No problem, Coolicon pendant lights can be shortened to suit
The iconic Coolicon vented gallery, with its bi-directional lighting, comes into its own when a focus is required. Designed to dissipate the heat of the 1930’s lightbulbs the vents now allow for ambient lighting to the ceiling whilst the white Vitreous Enamel inside the lampshade reflects a clean, bright light below - ideal for lighting open spaces.
If your bedroom doesn’t have enough natural light, or if you have to squeeze your dressing area into a corner due to small bedroom space, then Coolicon’s bi-directional light will be your saviour. Hanging a large Coolicon lampshade above your dressing room mirror will provide ample task lighting, to illuminate your table, whilst the ambient up light will create a cosy zone in your bedroom – the perfect place to spoil yourself.

"Great in sunlight, never to fade"
Born in the furnaces of industrial Britain and now reproduced by artisans in the UK’s few remaining dedicated workshops, every detailed touch point on a Coolicon lampshade is formed by hand. The lip return around the rim of the shade, the curve at the very top of the gallery and the smooth weld finishes cannot be created by tools or machines. Our craftspeople, masters of their trade, carefully finish the lampshade construction by hand.
Coolicon lampshades are healthy to live with. Handcrafted over a period of three days the Vitreous Enamel finish applied to our shades is mainly composed of glass, with natural minerals and oxides fused into it. Glass is an impermeable material; it is non-VOC (volatile organic compound) and will not emit any gases or react with chemicals. A green and healthy choice for lighting the sanctuary of your bedroom.

Harmonising neutrals for all interiors; Latte Brown Lampshade
Latte Brown - a warm and sophisticated neutral that coordinates with practically any colour. It's especially striking when paired with our Selvedge lampshades. Familiar influences inform the enamel formulation from the ubiquitous latte coffee and the soft light of an autumn morning to the harsher permanence of dark limestone.
