There is a white ring that is on the inside of the shade. Twist that off. Then put the shade against the lamp. Screw the ring back on. Insert bulb. Tada!

Before you screw in the light you must unscrew the ring, assemble the shade, and then rescrew on the ring that attaches the shade to the lamp. After this you can put the light in the socket.

The shade has a round flange but that unscrews and then tightens to secure shade. Light bulb pushes into socket.

Looking at the shade, it seems I just pushed it into place until it felt secure. Then light build is put in as final step. It has been almost 7 months but don't remember having difficulty. Don't know if this helps.

Looks like a round screw on fitting that holds shade in place and then you put bulb into socket. If you need I might take a photo of inside of shade with bulb already in place.

No, all you get is what you see, the lamp shade. The rest of the lamp, should have the framework that you will have to unscrew and place. I believe I had to Google information on putting it back together and it brought up pictures of how to do it. Mine was tight fitting but with a little patience and prayer I got it back together. Hope this helps. Ann D

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.

Yes, you have to attached the candle (comes with the lantern) to the base and then the base to the lantern. The candle has a hole in the middle that you insert part if the base through. Then the base slips into the sides of the lantern. The instructions have pictures that is helpful and after the first one, it's fairly simple. The hardest part is unfolding the lantern so that it doesn't tear and then lighting the candle so that it doesn't accidentally touch the lantern, otherwise it goes up in flames.Good luck!You have to hold the lantern upright after lightning the candle for a minute or two until the lantern is full. Then it takes flight with no problem. Yes, you have to attached the candle (comes with the lantern) to the base and then the base to the lantern.

The shiny thing at the bottom, in the middle, screws off. That shiny thing holds up the glass. Make sure to hold the glass part so that it does not fall down on you. Once that is off, you can get to the light bulbs.

I did it; but it requires some SERIOUS diss-assembly. I'd never do it again because the plastic ends break. Then you end up with a fixture with lots of tape to hold it together. I recommend using the chains, just get it close to the ceiling as you can.

I found this Youtube video helpful in assembling the lights. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DxzMmwjVJGY

We had no instructions either. I contacted the seller, and they emailed them to me while we were on the phone. It went together fairly easy, and fast. All is great with ours. Hope you were able to get what you need.

I ended up having someone install it for me. I must say it was not easy for the electrician to do it, it took him long. Its worth it though, the lamp looks very good. Sorry I could not be of any help. Good luck

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?

Every lighting kit that I have bought never did come with assembly instructions. If you Google or look on Youtube you can find video instructions on how to put together and put on Softboxes, Barndoors, or Snoots. Of course there are MANY different types of Softboxes and not all softboxes assemble the same.

When I removed my old burned out bulb the glass pulled out. When I replace it again (I own 2 of these type desklights) I am going to try pulling the "Base" and not the bulb. BTW: One of the suggestions is to use soft cloth when handling the glass part to prevent the oil from your fingers from tainting the light emission. ALSO .... The base is "Crimped" together and it "Will" pull apart. That also happened to me.

Install the fixture first and then the globes. You have to kind of put the globes on like a puzzle. But, it is worth it because it is a beautiful fixture.

Hi, I actually replaced existing bulbs with one size smaller, so that the lights don't protrude and shine in your eyes, rather than down light on the "globe" . A bit fiddly, but doable. It took 2-3 of us a couple of hours to assemble, including the electrician - but well worth the effort. It's a magical lamp, we love it.

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 ?

Comes with it's own lamp shade. Not attached to the bulb. It has a harp (I think that's the right term) so you could put any shade on top of the harp. The shade that it comes with is good though. I didn't change it out. My cat kept knocking over my regular lamp, so I decided to have something that attached to the wall ... he's so frustrated!! Good quality lamp, for sure.

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.
