Will these shades screw onto a socket ring to stay in place, or are screws needed on the outside as shown? I am trying to find replacement shades for my Hunter fan. The fan has 3 shades that screw onto a socket ring (there is no way to place screws on the outside to hold the shade in place), but the shades are amber-colored and the light does not shine through them very well, making the room too dark. I'm assuming this purchase would be a pack of 4 shades--not just 1 shade? Just trying to see if they would be compatible with my fan (I just wouldn't use one of the 4). My current shades require a candelabra bulb--since these require the same and are Hunter brand, I'm hoping they would fit and stay in place without screws.

You have to have screws to hold the shades in place. I have the shades you are talking about that I purchased from Amazon and they came in 4. That was how many I needed.

My swirl pattern shades are held in place with three screws. I removed one of the shades and the base is not threaded, so I do not think they would work without the three set screws. Hope this helps.

There are four shades in the box. They do not screw into socket. You need screws or I a had a bracket system to hold my in place. They are the same shades you see in most vanity lights, they have to have screws to hold them in place.

They use external screws to stay in place, have plenty of room for your bulbs and do come in a 4-pack. I accidentally bought 4 of the packs.

It was so easy to install on my Hunter fan, just followed instructions. Easy Peasy!!

Yes they will screw in the existing fan. It was an exact fit for my style fan as stated in the description.

There are no threads on the shades to screw them into a socket. There is only a curved rim that three screws on the outside screw snuggly against, holding the shade in place.

Kayla, these do not have threads on the shade, so no they "will not" screw on to your fan. They can only be installed using the screws w/the fan. Hope this helps. Ronny

The bracket has a "U" cut into it that slips around the downrod, then there is a nut that tightens down. Off or on is 2 seconds--very easy. I settled on this because most other drum shades are set up for table lamps. If you look at where their brackets are vertically, they are near the bottom rather than the top, which would put the bulb hanging out under the shade. This shade looks awesome lit backlit with otherwise dim lighting in the room. Would not hesitate to buy it :)

Does anyone know where you can see a photo of this on a shade and what that connection actually looks like? I have a shade I would like to use but have no idea if it will work. A photo of it all would make it much clearer. And is there a diffuser option that blocks the bulbs from being seen from below?

mine came with the shades on there is a porcelain piece on the inside that holds the shade on and the cup goes against the knurled nut on the outside its like any other light fixture I think didn't take mine apart hope this helps you ?

I didn't know how. There were no directions with shades. I had to return some of them. I did pull out the piece at the top roller to makr it fit in bracket. Sorry. I wish I could be of more help. Good Luck

It is called an Uno fitter, where the fitter sits on the socket...I did not know that and I needed the clip on type fitter. To return the customer has to pay shipping so, I did not return...shipping was more than the cost of the shade.

I don't know if it is possible to purchase with different sockets. However the candelabra lights that come with it are very bright. There were reviews stating the opposite but perhaps the manufacturer changed to brighter lights. I have to turn mine down to a lower setting using my remote as the light is so bright. I've had my fan for two years with no problems and the original bulbs sent with it.

Good question. I don't know. I bought two of these style globes and neither has had the bulb burn out yet. One of my globes is on very often too.No instruction. It looks like you'd have to take the globe apart.

You need to have it over a bulb hanging on a cord. You can get adapters that click into where bulbs go. The light shade is quite light, so a normal bulb socket will probably be able to support the weight of the hanging cord, bulb and shade.

I used a regular light bulb, but I want to tell you that the light that I can use is so dim, you will have to have other lights in the room in order to see. I have bought Hunter fans for years and have always been pleased, but I think when you put the largest watt bulb you can use in it, you will still have a dim light. Not happy that I have to burn lamps and open the blinds in order to see with this Hunter Kensington fan. I have used Hunter fans for years and years, but this one is like no other that I have used. The fan doesn't even put out the breeze that my older ones do. I guess you get what you pay for!

No, they're not the standard screw-in base. They're two contact point, mini-CFLs. My best guess is you'd have to get replacements at Lowe's or Home Depot - anywhere that sells Hunter fans. Probably a good idea to stock up.

Hi Kathryn: I ordered my Hunter 60 inch ceiling fan to cool my HOT cathedral living room ceiling. the temperature decreased 10 degrees over night. I did not have a light fixture on my cathedral ceiling. I paid 2 professional electricians to crawl up into my attic and install the necessary wiring. The fan has a remote (real convenient). My ceiling fan does not have a light. I did not want a light fixture on my fan. I am perfectly satisfied with my Hunter fan. I have a ceiling fan in every room, except the bathroom . Saves me a lot of money on my power bill. HUNTER is the best ceiling fan.

You can see from the construct of the adapter that the clips will go around the bulb at roughly 1" below the bottom of the bolt - maybe more, so the shade *will* sit higher. I'm guessing the bolt has been soldered onto the device and cannot be replaced with a longer one. Thanks for making me look more closely because I've been struggling to find a clip-on shade just a little shorter than most, and now I can go with a spider shade!

The shade is designed for a chandelier light fixture. I'm sure there are technical terms (as you have used) but all I know is it's one where the fitting is at the bottom not the top of the shade. It does just sits on the fixture and the bulb screws in to hold it in place as far as I can tell. It was not what I needed for my lamp but it may very well be what someone else needs. It is good quality and a snow white color.

hi, a "spider shade" has a ring at the center of the top with 4 spokes radiating out to support the top edge of the shade. it requires a "harp" which is the brass wire thingy that secures near the bottom of the bulb, and reaches around the bulb up to the ring, and fastens there with a "finial". quite a lingo. there are websites, i think lamps-plus is one, that show pictures of all this, in case i've made it clear as mud. best, dell

It depends on the fixture. I have some nightstand lamps where the bulb slips down into the neck of the shade and then you screw the bulb into the socket - these are too large for those shades but I have used them on standard lamps where the shade has a frame that is not part of the bulb housing. I have also used them on ceiling fans and ceiling mounted lights. They are great!

The glass just slips on. I'm away from home now so can't check it, but there may be small metal clips around the rim securing it which is common in this style but I can't say for sure. At any rate, it shouldn't matter much if there aren't any as it's not something that gets much traffic unless it's accidentally. Concerning the mounting it with the shade down, I don't know about that at all but if it were to work, you would need something from an electrical supply store like a "harp" - the kind the holds up lampshades that clips into the base and supports the glass above. If you can, I would call or email the company (Hardware House) and ask them. The glass just slips on.
