Bowlers. Fedoras. Cloches. Berets. Like a hat, a shade is the crowning touch that communicates a lamp’s personality. Loud or a whisper, it can give unique visual interest and turn a simple design into a dramatic statement.

Challenger Lighting specializes in hardback shades, and manufactures shades on-site, in a wide range of standard fabrics. Or, bring us your customer-owned material (COM) or fabric, and we’ll create an electrifying work of art. Whether you’re starting from scratch or updating an existing décor, we welcome your large and small orders, and oversized shade requests.

To order shades, please specify the following:

• Material
• Shape (round, square, rectangle, oval, drum)
• Size (top, bottom and slant required)
• Top fitter drop (3/4" is standard (see “d” on round/drum illustration)
• Type of holder (washer is standard)
• Brass or galvanized metal finish

How to measure a hardback shade:

1. Measure top diameter (whole inches)
2. Measure bottom diameter (whole inches)
3. Measure slant length (whole inches)

Shade colors may vary due to fabric changes. Other materials and tri-laminated shades are available, please contact us for a quote.
