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.

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.
Hallway lighting that will welcome your guests from the first hello
Pendant lampshades are a classic choice for the hallway, leaving an abundance of space on the floor and walls for storing shoes, coats, and bags. The longer the entrance hallway the more shades required - think of adding a small shade every 4 feet, along the length of the hallway or larger shades every 8 feet for the perfect balance.
With its bi-directional lighting, light that projects both upwards and downwards, the Coolicon lampshade really comes into its own when lighting an entrance hallway. Originally designed to encourage dissipation of heat from 1930’s lightbulbs, the open gallery vents now allow for ambient lighting to the ceiling whilst the reflective white enamel inside the lampshade emits a clean, bright light below – ideal for keeping the hallway free of additional lighting clutter.
"Create an inviting atmosphere
with soft ambient light from above
and diffused task lighting
to the hallway below"

"Great in sunlight, never to fade"
Hiding below the vibrant glossy Deep Yellow topcoat is a matte black ground coat. Fired at a higher temperature than the topcoat (around 850°C!) the extreme heat binds this rough dark coating to the steel body of the shade. At one of the hottest firing temperatures in the industry you can be sure of the durability and protection this coating offers your lampshade.
On the rare occasion a Coolicon shade should chip, we’re confident that it won’t rust as the chip should only penetrate down to the ground coat.
Hand made in Britain, Coolicon’s iconic lustrous Vitreous Enamel is hand applied by artisans. Masters of their trade, building layer upon layer, the resulting finish maintains much higher reflective properties than both paint and powder coated finishes and is will never fade even under the brightest of sunshine.
The Coolicon lampshade can illuminate your hallway efficiently. Easy to maintain, dusting the shades could not be easier ensuring that your statement shades will remain as striking years on as they were on day one.
"Colour that looks great in the sunlight, and will never fade!"
