CHOOSING A GIMBLE
The Gimble is the hanging or support frame inside the
lampshade. Our standard shades are supplied with a
42mm holed gimble to suit E27 lamp-holders. They sit
1 1/2" / 38mm below the top ring or above the bottom ring.
Each gimble comes with a reducer ring which can be used
with the Bayonet cap (B22) lamp-holders. The standard
Pendant or Table/Floor Lamp Gimble will be selected once
the purpose is identified. For additional options see below.

We have a range of shade carriers that start at 4
inches up to 10 inches. All are made for standard E27
lamp holders, but again, you will be issued with shade
reducers if you require them for an older light that
has an E14 or bayonet cap (B22) lamp holder.
NB. Soft pleated shades (between 12-22”) come
supplied with the Duplex style gimble as standard.
