Lamp cages, grids and frames: versatile structures to design and protect your lamps

Lamp cages, grids and frames are essential components for creating original and functional lighting fixtures. These structural elements serve as the base or external protection of a lamp, providing both aesthetics and safety. Whether you want to build a pendant lamp with a visible bulb or add an industrial touch to your lighting design, these accessories are the perfect solution. At Lighting DIY, we offer a wide selection of styles, materials and finishes to suit all types of projects.

1. What are lamp cages, grids and frames?

  • Cages (jaulas): open structures that surround the bulb or lamp holder, typically leaving the light source visible for a modern or industrial look.

  • Grids (rejillas): mesh-like components used as protective or decorative elements.

  • Frames (armazones): the internal structure used to shape and support lamp shades or complex lighting designs.

2. Uses and applications

  • Pendant lamps: create striking lamps with exposed bulbs.

  • Industrial and vintage lighting projects: add an authentic decorative touch.

  • Protective installations: keep bulbs safe from accidental impacts.

  • DIY and restoration projects: build custom lamps from scratch or replace damaged structures.

3. Types and finishes available
Our catalogue includes:

  • Metal cages in geometric, dome, cylindrical and openwork shapes.

  • Frames for textile lamp shades compatible with E27 and E14 holders.

  • Protective grids for wall or ceiling lamps.

  • Finishes in black, white, brass, chrome, copper and aged styles to match your décor.

4. Advantages of using lamp cages, grids and frames

  • Durability: metal and high-quality materials ensure long-lasting use.
