Precision Glass Pressing
See how custom pressed glass components are precision formed for lighting applications.
✦ Gradient frosting transitions smoothly into a clear lower section
✦ Stepped upper end provides a defined fixture seating feature
✦ Two open ends preserve the cylindrical glass tube profile
✦ Borosilicate 3.3 tube glass forms the cylindrical shade body
✦ Ground edges finish both ends of the glass tube
A Borosilicate Tube Shade with Gradient Frosting
This borosilicate tube lamp shade combines a cylindrical silhouette with frosting that fades toward a clear end.
The stepped upper seat and two ground openings define the component interface for fixture design.
May suit decorative pendant concepts; confirm custom frosting position and stepped seat requirements with an approved sample and drawing.
Gradient sandblasting produces a frosted area that transitions toward clear glass. The gradient boundary should follow an approved finish sample.
Yes. The shade has two ground openings, preserving its open cylindrical construction.
The upper end includes a stepped seat. Match its diameter, height and tolerance to the fixture drawing before approving the assembly.
Maximum outer diameter is 50 mm, inner diameter is 40 mm and height is 157 mm. Detailed seat and tolerance requirements belong in the component drawing.
No. The upper seat is 44 mm, while the inner bore is 40 mm. Keep these two features separately dimensioned in the assembly drawing.
Define the frosting boundary and gradient on an approved sample. The final light distribution depends on the light source and complete fixture.
