Is it possible to use this lamp without the shade? Black does not fit that well in my home, since I have more whites.

I have 2 in my bedroom their big beautiful lamps,, you could use these without the shade, or buy a white shade to cover them.. good luck.....

It is a very transparent black shade. When lit, it almost looks purple. It's definitely not a harsh black.

I took it off and it actually looks like a chandelier! The only thing I would worry about are the bulbs would then be exposed. Someone could easily touch them and get burned if it were in an common, pass-thru area. Otherwise, good idea and would look fine in an out of the way place!

You could put a different shade on it, but I wouldn't go without a shade altogether... I don't think it would look good.

It's actually really pretty without the shade or you definitely could use a different shade. I love mine.

Honestly, if you want to get crafty, you can disconnect the shade and remove the ribbon surrounding the frame. Spray paint the frame a metallic silver and replace with white sheer ribbon from a craft store. That would look nice. It would look weird without the shade.

I wouldn't , I think no shade would cause it to lose its elegance and look very unfinished.

It's how the shade sits on the lamp: http://www.home-concept.com/design_tips_lampshade_guide.htmlHope that helps.

Understand that the bottom of the tiffany lamp shade is only 10 inches to the table surface. So you don't get much direct lighting unless the lamp is setup higher. That said I use it at night from bed and the indirect glow from the lamp is enough for me to read without any problems.

Actually, we bought the lamp for our daughter-in-law for Christmas. I've looked at it on their wall and I can't really say. You would need to find one with a shade that hooked on the same way. One thing to remember is that it is a 1/2 shade. Our daughter-in-law is very happy with the lamp.would imagine that the shade could be swapped out. One thing to remember, the shade is a 1/2 shade. I will say this, the lamp is very pretty.

No... You turn the lamp on or off by pressing down on the white plastic lamp shade, and you would not be able to do this if you remove the plastic shade and replace it with something else. You cannot turn the lamp on or off by pressing a button.

You can't leave the light on for any length of time with a conventional incandescent light (the old-fashioned light bulbs) because of the heat generated--it will blister the shade. I guess you could try one of the CFL or LED bulbs which generate way less heat. Why don't you buy one of the banker's lamps with the glass shades, they are about the same price, come in green and amber shades, and you can run any type of bulb--that is what I finally had to do, get a replacement shade for my old lamp and send this normandie one back because it blistered--it was a fire hazard.

Hi Gabriella. I think you can but I would check with the people who make the TaoTronics grow light to make sure. I was using the taotronics light with the woods lamp and the light started turning off and on and making a noise. So I stopped using it. I tried just some regular lights bulbs to see where the problem was, in the light or the lamp, and it's in the lamp. My lamp has some wiring issues. So I hope this helps you. Have a good day.

This lamp may not meet your desires. I use only the bulb that came with the lamp. A larger bulb may not be safe. J

I actually do and it looks wonderful. I bought my bulbs at walmart and they are like the round ones vs the the curled style bulbs. Just make sure that you don't use daylight bulbs they look awful in this lamp. Trust me I tried. The soft white looks the best.

I am so, so sorry I didn't pay attention to this email - thought it was another advertisement. It's a very small lamp, the shade is 6 inches at its widest span. The lamps are at my Mom's house but I can check in the next couple of days to see how easy it would be to change the shade. You might want to consider a transparent paint or glaze or even a light weight fabric and cover the existing shade. I think the lamp would be wonderful in a nursery. It's not a bright light - it's a soft light. It would also be good in a bathroom where you're not needing a lot of light in the middle of the night.

I don't think you could easily change the color... The lamps are not very sturdy. You may need to sacrify one lamp (to disassemble it) to know if the light is changeable...

When the light isn't on, the shade looks very white. Depending on the bulb you use, the shade is either white or slightly off-white when the lamp is on.

It might be, however I'd get it with a black/dark lamp shade to try and make the light as dim as possible. In my opinion still gives off just a *little* too much light to be a nightlight, but not enough to be a practical lamp (other than for bedside lamp for reading)

I suppose it is possible, though there is no obvious way to fasten a shade and most of its height is light so the shade would need to be bigger than the unit. The image of the light is accurate, it is not a decorative lamp at all, and it is rather short to function as a shaded lamp.

The lamp shade wouldn't go over it, you would take that portion off to attach this one. Take a look at the base where the 4 arms join and make sure you can take that off. Ours was an older version with a single glass dome light and it fit just fine. I'm assuming yours would work well. If not, Amazon is usually great about returns as long as it's done right away. Hopefully this helps alittle.

Yes you can. I had a regular bulb and the lamp got hot. I wanted to be able to leave it on for long periods, so I put the curly bulb and it works fine and stays cool. Sorry, I can't remember the letters for the bulb, but it is the energy efficient.

Hello:It all depends on your lamp shade base. The wattage used for the light bulb should be no more than 40. Any higher wattage used will damage the shade. If you need any further assistance, please contact us at 214-491-6991 Monday - Friday 9am-4pm CST.Thanks,WPIC Store
