Shade attachment for a recessed light fitting

A shade attachment device 2 for a recessed light fitting has opposed surfaces, wherein one of said surfaces 12 is around a recess in a mounting surface for a light, and the other surface 2 is fixed to a shade. There is a releasable contact fixing on one of said surfaces allowing a shade to be mounted by presenting it to the light fitting. The releasable contact fixing may be magnetic, by hook and loop pads, by adhesive or by friction fittings (fig 7, 17). If a rim around the light fitting is not magnetically susceptible and adaptor 11 can be added, fixed by adhesive or flexible fingers. Arms 15 may attach the device 2 to the shade 1 allowing a space between them. The shade may further comprise heat insulating or reflecting material (fig 10,19) and arms (fig 12,22) allowing attachment to a pendant or table lamp fitting or arms (fig 14, 22) allowing use of a shade with an existing attachment (fig 14,24). A heat resistant collar may be inserted into the recess of the light fitting, fastened by releasable means such as clamps, spring clips or hose clips.
