E27 Light Bulb

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 hanging pendant lighting for living rooms with high ceilings
Our Large 1933™ Design reinvents the smaller Standard Coolicon lampshade, seamlessly moving the iconic industrial lights into domestic settings.
A rounded form with a generous vented gallery to display a statement light bulb our Large 1933™ Design lampshades allow for soft ambient lighting above while producing a more diffused task lighting below. The generous proportions of this larger Coolicon lends the lampshade to being a central focal point of any living room.
Bringing a soft industrial vibe into your living room, the light from the gallery can showcase tall ceilings and illuminate cornice details. The diffused task lighting below is ideal to light large coffee tables or provide general room light. Try pairing with a selection of Original 1933™ Design shades to add warm accent light - a shade over a sofa side table is a stylish and practical addition to any living room.

Used by impressionist painters to create masterpieces, artists would grind up and suspend cobalt in oil to produce oil paint; creating a Coolicon masterpiece is a little different. Our master enamellers melt cobalt oxide into a secret recipe of glass and minerals, creating our magnificent Royal Blue Vitreous Enamel.
The Royal Blue Vitreous Enamel is hand applied to our lampshades. Carefully built layers are fused to the shade through furnace firings. At 800°C the enamel melts and flows over the surface of the shade resulting in a seamless indigo finish.
The continuous enamel finish means that Coolicon lampshades are easy to keep clean – perfect for any unexpected visitors you might welcome into your home. Coolicon lampshades are also healthy to live with, the mixture of natural oxides, minerals and glass are non-VOC (volatile organic compound). This means that the shade will not emit any gases or react with any chemicals.
"Expertly made and easy to clean lights, healthy to live with for years to come"
A Royal Blue Lampshade; Richer than navy and timeless to the core
Originally designed to light the factories of 1930s Britain our expansive colour palette brings the Royal Blue Large 1933™ Design lampshade into the 21st century.
Richer than navy, with a vibrancy and depth synonymous with Vitreous Enamel, Royal Blue affords a dramatic contrast to the shade’s white interior reflector. Inky tones merge with precious cobalt, deep sapphires, and the once ubiquitous police pill box to produce a deeply luxuriant shade.
Dancing with light during the day Royal Blue takes on a richer warmer tone as the night rolls in; a true classic which looks incredible when paired with our Contemporary Palette’s Sky Blue.
