- Does this include the lamp base?
- No. It is the shade only. You reuse your existing floor lamp base, harp and bulb.
- Will it fit my floor lamp?
- It fits lamps whose harp or socket ring matches the shade's fitting. Measure your old shade's top and bottom width and height before ordering.
- What bulb should I use with it?
- Use a bulb within your lamp's wattage rating. A warm white LED gives a softer glow under a black shade than a cool white one.
- Is a black shade good for reading?
- Yes. A dark shade pushes light down onto a chair or table, which works well for reading, but it lights the rest of the room less than a light fabric shade.
- Can I use it outdoors?
- No. It is made for indoor floor lamps and is not weather resistant.
- Where is the Ebern Designs Floor Lamp Shade cheapest?
- At Wayfair, for $65.99, as of our latest check.
