What lampshade to fit this light?

We've just bought a house and have this light fitting in the WC. I have no idea how to find some sort of lamp shade that will work for it. Has anyone seen this before/ am I being really stupid? Normal lampshades don't work- we've tried! Thank you :)

A normal lampshade with the hole at the top. You can usually turn round the metal fixing so it will fit a ceiling light or lamp. How about something like this www.next.co.uk/g818013s8/216490#216490. That’s just a glass shade but on a fancy flex

Interestingly, I bought a lampshade yesterday for our downstairs loo and then realised we have the same fitting as you and the 'normal' lampshade didn't fit. Watching thread!

So like this?

If you get see through you could get a pretty filament bulb to go inside.

I have this type of light in our downstairs loo... I've always left it bare as I didn't think you could get shades to fit!

Actually you can tell on websites which will fit I reckon:

Is it a screw or a bayonet fitting? I have a similar one just outside my WC and have just fitted a fancy bulb by Plumen. 3.5 years in, still going strong.

A fancy bulb is a good idea.

I really want a shade but have no idea what to buy. None of our other fittings are like this one.

I knew it’d be this light fitting! Have one too. Weird things. You can’t remove the funnel bit so no normal shade will fit. We have a fancy filament bulb but it’s very dim

We bought this and it fits! www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B00GC6F20O/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o06_s00?psc=1&tag=mumsnetforu03-21&ie=UTF8

The funnel bit does unscrew, so this shade goes above it. Not the most attractive shade but better than nothing and we're on a budget!
