If it is in a shower room, it would need to have an IP rating… such as IP44 or IP67… If this is the case, you might need to buy the entire light fitting, due to the shade requiring a waterproof seal to the body…
Safety first, expense secondary :0)

tried looking for the manufacturer of the light fitting?
Unfortunately there is nothing in the fitting at all. Partly my frustration is about the replacement shade. But partly its about how broken google is.
Have you tried searching 5" rather than 5in?
Not sure if these help at all:
…or maybe 125mm

Ah… Okies :0)
I found that site and that exact set of results, but that is all the fittings. We just need a shade. Why is this so hard?

my ex-wife at SEOmoz would tell you, that it’s not google that’s broken. the websites which google are linking to isn’t optimized properly for search results.
Lowes and HD are big enough to not care. they want the foot traffic in the store, more chances to buy other incidental impulsive purchases while there.

But @limiescouse I suspect you’re looking for this? Two wire springs to secure to fixture?
Put the heating on yesterday and an extra pullover, that’s cold. 5°C to 11°C freezing for here!
