• a coupler configured to couple the lampshade to a hanging mount of a light fixture, wherein the coupler comprises:
• a base comprising:
• a base platform;
• a base sidewall attached to the base platform, wherein the base sidewall is perpendicular to the base platform within a tolerance of ten percent;
• and
• a spider rod channel formed in the base sidewall, wherein the spider rod channel defines a negative space configured to receive one of the plurality of spider rods of the spider fitting of the lampshade;
• and
• a conduit arm attached to the base, wherein the conduit arm comprises a conduit sidewall defining a hollow interior;
• wherein the hollow interior of the conduit arm is configured to receive an electrical wire of the light fixture such that the electrical wire does not pass through the central ring of the lampshade.
