Our advice Buying Guide
If the light coming out from your lampshade is too bright for your liking, then you'll need the services of a lamp shade diffuser. This type of lamp addition is designed to manipulate the light that is coming out from any lampshade.
Varying types will produce different results. Some will "dampen' the brightness, will others allow for a patterned shadow to be cast. On the downside, the varieties can often be a source of confusion for the inexperienced shopper. To make the task more manageable, this article is going to be a buying guide for lamp shade diffusers.
What are the common shapes for a lamp shade diffuser?
The first thing that you need to be aware of is the shape of your lampshade. The usual shapes for a lampshade diffuser are circle and square. Naturally, you'd want to pick a circle-shaped diffuser if your lampshade is round. Same goes if you have a square lampshade.
If your lampshade has an "irregular" shape, then your options may be very limited. Once you have the right shape, you also need to get the right size. If it's too small or too large, then it won't fit properly. Most of the time, lampshade diffuser sizes are expressed in terms of diameter.
How to select the right size diffuser for a lamp shade?
To find the right size, you must first decide if you want to place the diffuser on the top or bottom. You don't have to do this step if you have a drum-type lampshade. For other types of lampshades, it's likely that the top and the bottom parts don't have the same diameter. Thus, you need to measure the diameter and shop accordingly.
What are the different types of lamp shade diffusers?
There are different types of lampshade diffusers, and it's best that you know the varieties so you'll have a better idea on what to look for. The popular types include Foamex, translucent polypropylene, floral, louvered, and fabric.
- Foamex diffusers typically come in white color. Because of its opacity, it's an excellent option if you want to block more of the light.
- Translucent polypropylene, by far, is the most popular type. It blocks some of the light, but not completely which makes it a good choice for many homeowners.
- Floral lampshade diffusers come with a cutout design that usually mimics the petals of a flower. They’re designed to cast off a shadow that has more of a floral vibe to it.
- Louvered is another lampshade diffuser that comes with a cutout design. Usually, the pattern comes with layered circles within the diffuser. It's a design that exuberates sophistication and classiness.
- The fabric diffuser is made from a piece of cloth. It usually comes with a wire in a shape of a circle, and it's meant to support the fabric. The transparency of the fabric largely depends on the color and the type of material used.
The best way to make your shopping task less confusing is by knowing how to filter out options that don't apply to your situation. With the key points mentioned above, you should be able to narrow down your choices so you'll end up with a list that is much more manageable.
