Spun steel lamp shades are used with adjustable gooseneck lamps, machine lights and task lighting products when the lamp head needs a formed metal cover with a practical finish. The shade should be selected together with the gooseneck arm, lamp base, bulb or LED module, heat conditions and final mounting position.
In real sourcing work, a lamp shade is rarely judged by appearance alone. Buyers need to check opening size, depth, edge treatment, surface finish, cable clearance and how the shade connects to the flexible arm or lamp head.

Inside and outside finishes may have different requirements.

Practical note
If the shade is for a complete lamp, share the arm length, base type and light source. This helps check balance, heat clearance and assembly fit before making samples.
