Dar Shade Carrier 8 inch
The Dar Shade Carrier 8 inch is a white wireframe shade carrier by Dar, designed to support duplex-style lampshades and position the shade 8 inches (20.3 cm) above the light source. Its simple, purpose-driven form is intended for use on table and floor lamps where a stable top-ring support is required.
The carrier combines a circular base ring and a rectangular upper frame connected by four vertical uprights. The overall form is slightly tapered, with the supports flaring outward to the wider top frame. The top frame has inward-curving notches at each corner to cradle a shade's top ring and reduce horizontal movement.
Made from a white-coated wireframe, the construction is minimal and visually unobtrusive beneath a shade. The open wire design keeps the carrier lightweight while remaining functionally robust, allowing the shade to retain its intended profile and the fitting to remain discreet.
The open structure ensures light from the bulb is not obstructed and positions the shade at a consistent distance for predictable light distribution. The notched corners act as a locking detail to help prevent the shade sliding off the carrier, making it suited to duplex or top-ring shade configurations.
Installation is straightforward: the base ring includes a central aperture with a cut-out slot designed to fit over a lamp socket, so the carrier sits on the lamp's top-ring area. Check that your shade's top-ring matches the carrier's corner geometry for secure seating. Warranty is two years standard, extendable to five years with online registration.
At Lighting Design Online we advocate small, considered components like this shade carrier because they resolve practical details that affect the final ambience. We offer clear, project-friendly guidance to confirm compatibility and ensure the carrier contributes to a balanced, well-constructed lamp assembly without guessing work.
