How are glass shades measured?
Glass shades are usually measured by three simpledimensions: fitter size, height, and width. The fitter size is the part thatmatters most when matching a shade to your fixture. It refers to the outsidediameter of the small lip at the top of the shade that fits into the shadeholder.
To measure height, start at the base of the fitter lip andmeasure down to the bottom of the shade. For width, measure across the widest partof the shade. Depending on the style, this may be at the top, center, orbottom.
How do I determine the correct size glass shade for mylight fixture?
The easiest way to find the right replacement shade is tomeasure the inside diameter of the shade holder on your light fixture. Matchthat measurement to the fitter size of the glass shade. Common shade holdersizes include 2¼\", 3¼\", 4\", 6\", 10\", and 12\".
