We have completed new product introductions of designer linen drum lamp shades and matching designer linen drum swag lights that feature lovely pronounced fabric textures in popular sizes 15-19" wide. These newest styles are listed on our website in the above links and available in our outlet store now.


LED light bulbs make sense on every level but some people hesitate buying them due to the lighting color.
There is a simple solution.
Look for a "color temperature" or "Kelvin" rating of 2500-2700 printed on the packaging.
A bulb rated 3000 will have whiter light and bulbs with higher ratings will emit the dreaded bluer light.
