The Kupo 18" China ball with E27 socket, or Chinese paper lantern, consists of a paper globe with a ceramic E27 socket and a chrome plated 3/16" Wire frame to support it. The China ball gives soft omnidirectional light. Under the socket there is a metal disc with both female 1/4"-20 and 3/8"-16 threaded holes for easy mounting. Attached to the metal disc is a metal ring to clip on Fabric or gels to control the direction, color and quality of light. The cable is reinforced where it enters the socket for long life.
