Abstract
A shade system that easily attaches to any recessed ceiling fixture. The attachment system has an internal frame structure that allows any size shade to be suspended from it. The shade can be solid, colored, or it can have decorative elements that suit any style. A second modification replaces the normal reflective type bulb used in these fixtures. An adaptor is used so that the user can insert a normal globe style bulb that extends below the ceiling. Using such a bulb, combined with a wide shade converts the spot effect into a diffused warm light throughout the room.
