Bulb's translucent housing
A glass shade is a translucent or opaque glass covering placed over a light source to diffuse or direct illumination.
Table lamps, chandeliers, and ceiling fixtures commonly use glass shades to soften harsh light and add decorative appeal: The antique lamp had a hand-painted glass shade.
Tiffany lamps are famous for their colorful stained glass shades.
