English term or phrase: coolie

Mi egyebet jelent még a kulin kívül?

"The corridor was badly lit; there were what he assumed to be inoperative gas-mantels and two miserable 60-watt lights with saloon-bar coolie metal covers."

A neten is találtam olyan szövegeket, ahol lámpaburára vonatkozik a szó, de attól még nem tudom magyarul.

Jó-jó, ha mindenki a harang-alakon kukacoskodik, visszavonom! Csak ez volt az első szó, ami eszembe jutott azt leírandó, hogy nem henger/ gömb / stb alakú az illető lámpaernyő, hanem a hagyományos kúp alakú, trapéz keresztmetszetű. :)
