[Lab] lampshade thot

[j ross]

Often lampshades have an internal plastic support for fabric that also acts
as a heat shield.  Maybe acetate or mylar?  I've done acetate cutouts with
a vinyl cutter but not a laser yet.

Using LED, halogen or fluorescent bulbs will of course cut down on the max
temp.
