Chandelier Shades and reflectors came into being to protect candle and oil wick flames on chandeliers from gusts of air, to direct and focus lighting downward, and for visual appeal instead of the harsh light from a direct flame. In the advent of electric lighting chandelier shades are still used not only for their visual appeal but also to focus light downward. Chandelier shades come in a wide variety of sizes, shades, colors, and designs to match any decor and chandelier.
