E26 Suspension Sets

Exclusively designed for our North American customers, a Coolicon lampshade wouldn’t be complete without it; the E26 Signature Brass suspension set. Included in the price shown above.

With beautiful symmetry and a design tailored for use in North America, our white Vitreous Enamel ceiling cups mirror the iconic gallery of the Coolicon lampshade, 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. As lovers of the finer details, our ceiling cups ensure a sleek lighting design from ceiling to lampshade.

Just like the trusty Coolicon lampshade, our Signature Brass E26 lamp holder is designed to last for decades. Expertly detailed with diamond knurling reminiscent of an industrial past and elegantly imprinted with “Coolicon®” around the top, this lighting set will be admired in any interior.

A natural sheen unlike any other. This carefully selected Italian cable is finely overbraided with black fabric in the homeland of Coolicon to ensure your lampshade hangs with an extra touch of class and authenticity.
Adjustable drop length:
Min 15cm – Max 230cm (Min 6"– Max 90½")
Please note: Our E26 Standard Suspension Sets components are UL Listed for the USA only

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.

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.

Home office lighting that keeps you focussed on the task at hand

The original bi-directional utility light, Coolicon lampshades have lit workers for almost 100 years. The vented gallery, first introduced to encourage heat dissipation from the high wattage 30s bulbs, provides ambient lighting above and focused task lighting below.  

We recommend the Large 1933™ Design lampshade in smaller office spaces such as box rooms or dual use rooms – maybe your work desk is the kitchen table or tucked away into a bedroom corner. The larger design of this lampshade projects larger cones of light, brightening the smallest and darkest of spaces. In larger rooms or dedicated office spaces we recommend pairing the Large 1933™ Design with the smaller Original 1933™ Design lampshade. Create a bespoke lighting experience that is sure to increase productivity and stave off procrastination. 

"Say no to harsh lighting!
Coolicon lampshades produce a
calming light above while
maintaining a diffused task light below"

"Great in sunlight, never to fade"

Hand finishing our lampshades is what makes them Coolicon lampshades. While using tools and mass-manufacturing our lampshades would increase our production capacity it would lead to homogeny, a sea of sameness. We take pride in the special uniqueness of each and every lampshade we produce. This pride resonates across our manufacturing processes - the pride of the master craftspeople we work with carries across into the exquisitely finished product.

Coolicon lampshades are finished in Vitreous Enamel. This highly reflective glass coating is composed of natural minerals, oxides and glass and is non-VOC. The white Vitreous Enamel inside the reflector of the lampshade was specifically formulated to reflect a neutral, clean bright white light – making the Large 1933™ Design shade ideal for small, dark office spaces.

"High-gloss finishes for lighting that brightens the darkest of spaces"

A warming enamel with timeless charm; The Original Grey lampshades

Familiar to those who’ve been caught in a British downpour our Original Grey Vitreous Enamel recalls stormy skies. Inspired by the misty English coastline and the hulk of a Battleship this adaptable shade appeals to a variety of interiors.  

Stunning with Original Green and delightfully bewitching with Powder Pink, our Original Grey is not to be overlooked.
