Does the bulb protrude outside of the reflector? Will I be able to clip diffusion paper to the lamp without the paper touching the bulb?

Yes it does protrude. If you wanted to put a gel or some other diffuser in front of the bulb you'd need to mount it separately.

Out of the box, no. It would stick way out the front. However, if you have the know how or know someone who does it can be retrofitted with a different socket that will take a stubby mini spot. That is what I did to mine and it works wonderfully. It will never get hot and is very bright. It also ended up flush with the front so it didn't detract from the looks of the lamp.

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 adapter adds just over 1/4" to the length of the new bulb. I installed 2 1/4" mini LED bulbs and the length with the adapter grew to just over 2 1/2". I did not include the 1/4" length of the adapters Gu pins since they insert into the light fixture and do not account for any protrusion.

The shade does not clip to the light bulb. It sits on a brass frame with a finial holding it in place. It could work if the attaching piece on the shade is lower into the shade which many are. Kind of hard to explain. If you've looked at shades, you may understand what I mean. In the end, anything is possible if you are clever enough. Hope this helps.

It will fit if you take the reflector off, but it will not fit with the reflector. With four bulbs, the weight makes it difficult for the clamp to hold it up. It can be done, but you need to be careful, and make sure you have a good, solid spot to clamp it, and be sure to check it for a couple of says to make sure it isn't slipping.

The metal plate simply covers the hole left by removing the reflector bulb. It might cut down on any drafts coming through the fixture or maybe stop some bugs from crawling in. Maybe it also affords some fire resistance. If you're installing a cover over the hole anyway, I wouldn't worry about skipping the metal cover plate. It does not provide any structural function.

I have used this bulb in such a fixture for about six months with no problems. The bulb is effectively omnidirectional in that application. Light is emitted from a full half sphere at the top of the bulb (the end away from the base). I also use one of these in a desk lamp with a white shade. Even though the bottom half of the bulb is metal, the result is about the same as a ordinary light bulb.

My TV had the same problem. I decided it didn't probably matter and bought it. However, Amazon a actually sent me the wrong model of lamp, which didn't fit in the tv. I ended up taking the new lamp apart and putting the bulb itself in the old lamp. It was quite easy, just a few screws.Regardless, I still think the p does not matter, especially because many sites seem to use the two interchangeably. I'd say buy it.

I don't know. BUT -- this bulb is made to be screwed into a ceiling spot. That "stem" part is unusually long. I'd be concerned that it wouldn't look right or be balanced in a clamp light.

It doesn't attache directly to the bulb. It has three prongs with a hole in the middle that you screw a decorative piece to.

No, the light bulb fits threw the fitter and screws in to the socket holding it into place. I love mine, it was exactly what I was looking for to go with my antique lamp.

I clipped it on a 40 watt standard bulb, fit perfectly. The clamp is flexible enough to move as needed. Hope this helps

I never noticed a reflector being mentioned in the description of the light, when I purchased mine. Mine came with the same piece of paper that you mentioned. It can be irritating at times but, not enough for me to take the time to improvise by inserting a piece of aluminum foil or something similar.

Well there is plastic tube that looks "porcelain like' that stems up with the bulb socket on the end. You can not see in the picture of the light, but at the end of this tube concealed from view by the shade there is a wrap around sticker that is 1-3/8" wide that tells you all the electrical info such as max wattage bulb etc. So my answer would be yes that would take away from the effect you are trying to achieve.

I do not think so. I am not sure of the question but I do not see any connections that are square nor does it look like it can be easily removed from the mount. it is a great lamp, however! I bought extra bulb but have not had to replace any.

I haven't tried to use it on a CFL bulb; the clips are designed to be used on a round shaped bulb
