Coolicon® Lighting Accessories
E27 Suspension Set with support
Exclusively designed for our larger lampshades in our collection, a Colossus 1933™ Design Coolicon lampshade wouldn’t be complete without it; the Signature Brass suspension set with Support. Included in the price shown above.
Enamel Ceiling Cup - With beautiful symmetry, our white Vitreous Enamel ceiling cups mirror the iconic gallery of our lampshades, both in size and shape. Made from the same high-grade steel and finished in durable matching white vitreous enamel.
Brass lamp holders - Our signature brass lamp holder is designed to last for decades, just like our lampshades. Imprinted with “Coolicon” around the holder, this set is sure to place your shade centre stage.
Support Cable – Our electrically insulated black stainless steel support cable, paired with black rubber cable tidies, keeps the lampshade securely suspended while blending discreetly into the suspension set.
Cable Type: With a natural sheen, our finely overbraided black fabric cable ensures your lampshade hangs with that extra touch of detail and class.
Adjustable drop length: Min 16cm – Max 180cm.
Bespoke lengths available.
Please note: Suspension sets do not include a ceiling hook.
Standard Suspension Sets are certified for UK and EU use only.

For a traditional look we suggest filament-style squirrel-cage or pear-shaped bulbs.
Coolicon® Lampshade Materials / Size / Weight
The Colossus 1933™ Design lampshade is built for atmospheric lighting. Its large presence fills a room with generous ambient light - a result of the lightbulb sitting higher in the larger gallery opening - while below, the shade casts a more defined, focused cone of task light. Sharing the same visual language and proportions as the Large 1933™ Design, Colossus scales that design up to suit dining rooms and large kitchen spaces, shaping light differently to create mood and atmosphere wherever it hangs.

Cleaning your Vitreous Enamel lampshade
Due to the glasslike Vitreous Enamel finish, the lampshade can easily be cleaned with a soft cloth.
For stubborn marks, a high-quality window/glass cleaner can be applied to the cloth then passed over the lampshade. Care should always be taken to avoid contact with the Coolicon badge.
Pendant lighting for classic interiors and Dining rooms
The Colossus 1933™ Design lampshade takes its inspiration from the smaller Standard Coolicon, launched to bring our largest-ever shade to homes and interiors. Finished in the same layers of durable, reflective vitreous enamel as the rest of the range, Colossus offers a gentler, more dispersed downward task light, while its larger vented gallery creates generous ambient up-lighting.
In Original Green, this scale comes into its own. Hung over a dining table, Colossus shapes light into a soft, atmospheric glow, setting the mood for dinners and entertaining. Rotate the shade to bounce light off nearby walls and surfaces, adjusting the ambience to suit the moment - from quiet evenings to lively gatherings around the table.

"Great in sunlight, never to fade"
Original Green is one of our most cherished vitreous enamel finishes. Developed to mimic the early 20th century Standard Coolicon enamel, it's a direct link to our heritage - updated using a refined enamel recipe that changes how light travels through the coloured layers. In sunlight, the Colossus Original Green lampshade displays an intense forest green; as dusk falls, it deepens to near-black.
This ultra-tough, highly reflective vitreous enamel finish is applied layer by layer, protecting the shade's integrity and colour for life. It will never discolour or fade, even in direct sunlight, and we guarantee your Colossus lampshade will look as good ten years on as the day it arrived.
HIGH-GLOSS VITREOUS ENAMEL LAMPSHADE
Original Green Lampshade: British Heritage Engineering, Reimagined for Today
Originally designed to light the factories of 1930s Britain, Original Green brings that heritage into the 21st century. Instantly recognisable as the colour of the golden days of British motorsport, it's a fitting tribute to Jaguar and Lotus.
Dark emeralds and ivy meld with deep forest greens for a statement shade that feels familiar and welcoming. In the Colossus size, this layered vitreous enamel finish makes its boldest statement yet - shaping atmospheric light over dining tables and statement spaces.
Original Green pairs beautifully with Jet Black for a considered, tonal look, or with Sky Blue for striking contrast.
