    The Argos catalogue number just seems to be an ordinary shade.

    I would imagine the OP was talking about 2D light fittings? I think they only come as a complete unit, ie no separate shade.

    Does anyone even know how to remove a lampshade from this type of fitting?? Just moved into a rental property with these square fittings and bought a nice new lampshade only to find that A) it probably won't even fit and B) I can't even get the damn existing one off!
