Shade-type fittings refer to lighting fixtures that have a shade or cover over the light source to diffuse or direct the light in a certain way. The shade can be made of a variety of materials, including glass, fabric, metal, or plastic, and can come in various shapes, sizes, and designs.

Commonly used in residential and commercial settings, such as living rooms, dining rooms, bedrooms, and offices. They are popular because they provide a decorative element to the room in addition to functional lighting.

There are several types of shade-type fittings, including pendant lights, chandeliers, table lamps, floor lamps, and wall sconces. These fittings can have different types of shades, such as drum shades, cone shades, bowl shades, or bell shades, each providing a different look and effect.
