is the bottom of the light exposed to the light bulb or is it a plexi/glass shield?

yes ,it is open without any kind of cover whatsoever, making it very easy to easily change the bulb.

Yes - the bottom is open and it's easy to reach up and put the light bulb in.

The curved canopy atop of the pole is the space that covers the bulb; and it is coated metal with no need for glass. The bulb sits horizontally, and there is room for a shorter LED bulb; not up to three inches though

The light fixture is held by a nut to the frame. The bulb covers it. The lens cover is just a clip in.

Yes. When you look up, you will see a frosted glass plate with a small bronze finial. The frosted glass does a nice job of obscuring the the light bulbs, also.

There is a cover, white plastic. The trouble is it tends to warp a bit from the heat of the light bulbs.

The shade is plastic and metal. The metal is probably lead alloy that's been poured over the plastic. The plastic will easily fool you to think it is a glass. the base of the lamp is heavy iron which makes it very stable. It works with two 100 Watt incandecent or CFL bulbs. Very well packaged.

No. There is no cover between the rim and top of the glass shade. As mentioned, it's designed so you can change the bulb easily. It is a beautiful fixture though. We have it hanging in our entryway and have had no issues with bugs. Also since the shade is frosted you do not see any dust easily and it's easy to clean.

This is just a glass cover for the lamp, but if you buy the lamp it does come with a bulb

I believe so. I installed several months ago. The glass portion is glass. It is good lighting trim and I would buy again if I have a need.

I cannot really see the light bulb..if you use all the shells then it should be well hidden.

The glass is a half cylinder that sits flush to the wall.The bulb is fully enclosed by the glass and is not visible from the side.It is an easy to install fixture and has an upscale look she installed.

This is not the glass undershade for the big bulb. It is a fabric shade that rests on top of that, and also covers the three smaller "candlelights" around the edge. My original glass for the big center bulb was fine, so I just needed the fabric shade. My brass floor lamp must be at least fifty years old; it belonged to my parents. This fabric shade fits it perfectly!

Mine only had one bulb, but you are able to remove it. It is also protected by a panel from water exposure.

The bottom is open and I just tried to change the bulb from the bottom and was able to. It's a tight fit but with small fingers it's do-able. Hope this helps.

No need for glass cover, bulb has a cover already, bulb does need venting for longer life

Mine had a soft foam sleeve as well that had to be removed before turning on the light. There was no plastic on the bulb! Could some small pieces of the foam packaging could have stuck to the bulb and melted?
