Measuring for a new shade is fairly straightforward.
Just remember that most lamps or fixtures can look good with any number of
different shade shapes and styles. So you don’t necessarily need to buy a new shade
that’s exactly like the one you’re replacing!

What Type Of Fitting Do You Need?
1. Spider With Harp
This is the most common type of fitting for table and floor lamp shades.
The correct size harp is included FREE with this shade.
2. Uno
Usually found on smaller table lamps. No harp is needed as the
wire fitting is permanently attached to the shade. The shade
attaches directly to the lamp socket.
3. Clip-On
Found on smaller accent lamps and chandeliers. The shade clips directly
onto the light bulb with no additional hardware.
