What kind of shade works with this kit?

If you use a regular bulb, I would think you would have to use one that "clips" on the bulb. I have some bulbs that are the CFL's and they are shaped like an incandescent bulb. With this kit I use a flicker bulb, so no shade.

I bought some pleated shades that clip on the bulb. They are 5 inches across the top and 11 inches across the bottom and about 12 inches tall. I bought them at a large hardware store.

There are 3 small parts. a washer, hex nut, and the wooden top for the shade. 1st put the washer on the shaft where the shade sits. 2nd lower the shade carefully onto the washer. 3rd screw on the hex nut and tighten. Don't over tighten the nut. 4th attach the wood top and your go to go.

I used this sun shade last summer with excellent results. There are indeed grommets in each of the corners through which you can thread a rope to suspend it over your patio.

What kind of conversion kit? I just set it on top of the apparatus and used the little screw to attach it. Very nice shades and the perfect size.

Don't believe it was spider shade, but I was unhappy with the shade itself so I replaced it with one I did like anyway. Sorry I couldn't be of more help.

Hi, there is a black circular canopy that goes over the wiring that connects the centre rod that actually holds the light and shade.it is very simple and we are really pleased with the whole set. We are away at the moment overseas so can give a better answer when we get home if you like.

It would depend on how your shade is assembled. As long as it can slip onto the stem of this light I think it would work with any shade.

We put large globe shaped 110W bulbs in them because we liked the look. They could take LEDs or compact fluorescent, but the bulb might be way up in the neck. If i were using a small bulb i would probably use an extension to get it down to the edge of the shade. They are nice shades.

You could put a different shade on it, but I wouldn't go without a shade altogether... I don't think it would look good.

They do not come with the sun shade, I purchased them at lowes. I think the corner connections are not enough for a fabric this size

I bought a rectangular shade with different measurements but i did go and buy turn buckles steel eyelets and steel caribeners at Home Depot. Utilizing these items allowed me to place the poles "close enough" and get the shade nice and taunt. Good luck!

Nothing comes with the shade. You will need a little bit of hardware. I went on the shade sail website and looked at different setups and seen how other people had theirs installed. I then put a list together to figure what I needed. I bought 2 6x6 posts 15 feet long, 2 turnbuckles, heavy duty wire, wire clamps, heavy duty eye anker bolts, nuts bolts and washers, every thing stainless steal. I spent around 60 bucks in hardware.

I don't know, but maybe you can reach Amazon customer service and see if they can give you the phone number for Normande Lighting . Then maybe you can call them about buying a replacement shade.

This should help you: http://shadefinder.janeiredale.com/If that doesn't work, you'll find the quiz on their site. That's what worked for me. Also, you can contact a rep there and they will help you.

Yes. The shade that comes with it is the type that is supported from a ring that sits on top of the part the light bulb screws in. So any other type of shade with that same support (pretty generic / very common) would work.

Hi, could you post pictures please? I'm interested in this shade and would love to see your end result!
