Question 1

On the European style rings, what's the diameter of the inner ring (the one that fits over the light socket)?

Accepted Answer

? was not answered. The diameters of the Euro fitter style spider (fits over, at the top of the bulb socket, where shade held in place with a plastic fitted screw mount), the washer exterior is 2-1/4 inches;  interior hole is 1-1/4 inches to accommodate the bulb socket width.  These measurements are on a newly purchased European lamp’s shade, which I am assuming, from experience, is a standard there. For more information on shade terminology, go to jackofallshades dot com, a brilliantly USEFUL & highly recommended source.

Question 2

Hi. how do you get a lightbulb or a electrical plug through that small hole? would i have to do my own wiring to use this? thanks.

Accepted Answer

Hi.  That small hole is for the top of the shade-only the top of the harp, where the finial will go, fits through there.  The base of the shade is open.Good luck, Melissa

Question 3

can they hold a diffuser?

Accepted Answer

no

Question 4

I see the diameters - what is the height of the form?  I need higher than 11 or 11.5 inches, which seems to be standard

Accepted Answer

The height of your new lampshade is whatever you choose.  At some point in the video they mention a product called adhesive polystyrene (I think).  You calculate the circumference that you want and also the height.  From there you buy the adhesive stiff plastic that you will cover with fabric (or whatever you like) using the measurements you want, such as 12 1/2 inches high (in case you need something to fold around the metal rings at the top and bottom) by the circumference.  You can calculate that yourself.  Circumference is equal to the diameter multiplied by pi ( π = 3.14 ).  So with a ring that's 12" in diameter your equation looks like this:  
12 x 3.14 = 38 inches approximately.
