E27 or B22 Lamp Holder to Harp Finial Converting Washers – ShadeCore®
Our premium ShadeCore® converting washers provide a simple way to adapt a standard lampshade frame for use with a harp and finial fitting system, a style of lampshade support commonly found on table and floor lamps in the USA.
They are designed for lampshade frames featuring an E27 Edison Screw utility fitting or UNO fitter, with a centre-hole diameter of approximately 40 mm. When used with our E27/E26 to B22/E14 Lampshade Reducer/Converter Adapter, the washers allow the lampshade to be securely positioned on a compatible harp fitting and held in place with a decorative finial.
This useful conversion system makes it easier to pair a standard European- or UK-style lampshade frame with an American-style lamp base, giving you greater flexibility when making, replacing or restoring a lampshade.
You can rely on ShadeCore® carreirs for strength, accuracy, and professional results every time.

- Place your Lampshade onto the thread of the Harp System, ensuring the washer fits into the ridge of the Adapter.
- Place the other Converting Washer on top of the Adapter, fit into the ridge, and then screw on your Finial.
- Your lampshade can now be used with Harp Systems
