Lead crystal is heavier than regular crystal. Take this into consideration when placing a lead crystal on an end table or bedside table. Depending on the percentage of lead oxide used, a lead crystal lamp can weigh 18% to 40% more than a glass-cut model.
Lamp Height - Measure the table height. Your total lamp height should be no more than 1 1/2 times this number.
Lamp Width - The lamp shade width will be in balance with the base if it is within 2" of the total base length. For instance, if your base length measures 20", the diameter of the shade should be 18" to 22".
