With no tools or rewiring required, a Tulip Shade offers a simple yet high-design lighting solution that adapts to your home, however permanent (or temporary) it may be.

Yes, you can use our light shades on naked light bulbs. We recommend using an LED bulb that doesn’t get hot, just for safety. Never install our Shades touching a light source.

We love the warm, inviting glow of 2700K LED bulbs—they create the perfect ambiance while being energy-efficient and producing minimal heat.

While there’s no strict wattage limit, we recommend choosing an LED bulb with a brightness level that suits your space. Most importantly, ensure the bare bulb does not come into direct contact with your Tulip Shade for both safety and longevity.
