There is something about the winter that makes me want to spend money on my house. I have just bought new lampshades and lamps (I am happy, oh the small things).

Anyway, my attention has turned to my hall light. Where do I begin to find a shade for this? What type of fixture is this called? I have no idea what to Google!! Oh crap its sideways!!

Disclaimer: My real answer is, I have no idea.

Isn't that just the same as a normal one but it doesn't have the long dangly wire? Failing any help here, take your pic in to B&Q and they might be able to tell you how to very easily turn it in to a long dangly one so that you have your choice of shades!

Google 'Ceiling rose' and see what that comes up with.

I think though that you fit the shade just above the plastic bit that the bulb screws into. I think you can just buy a normal shade and then twist the metal inside so it's up the other way. That doesn't make any sense does it?!
