I will be using this as a base in an terrarium converted into a electric LED fireplace for my bedroom. Does the glass shine and reflect the light?

It does reflect light when used with a fire. There is a glow and shine from the glass that really grabs the eye. The moving light is what gives it such a cool shimmer however so if the light spice is still (not moving) a different effect may be observed.

I haven't used it that way but it reflects flames quite brightly so I would say yes to your question.

No, it's reflective, not only does it reflect heat, but lightning and magic spells too. Feel free to drape it over your entire house.

The screen is glossy. I definitely get reflections, during dark scenes, if there is any other source of light in the room. Fortunately, I have blackout curtains. If you always view it from the same spot, you could careful position the TV so there is nothing bright or shiny that will be reflected on the screen at that angle. If you do that, then maybe you can have some light in the room without getting reflections.

The glass is definitely WHITE. The fixture is beautiful and gives off just the right amount of glow.

Mine is covering a mirror- but enough light bounces through it to make it look like a window. It's probably perfect for a plant that likes light, but not direct sunlight

No it does not shine like polished carbon fiber. It does appear to be somewhat semi gloss from a distance, with the right light. Also if you overheat it then it also loses some of its luster.

It's not totally matte but not too shiny either. Our family room has a huge sliding glass door to the patio so there is a lot of natural light. It is really beautiful and very sharp (with DirecTV HD or any DVD). Although we normally sit almost directly in front of it, it still has a great picture from pretty far too either side. We really love it.

It's lightly a brushed/satin finish, but still reflects light off of the outside finish quite a bit. We really like this arc lamp - it's big, impressive, heavy-based. We get a lot of compliments on ours (we bought two, one for a music studio and one for our living room). No surprises on each, shipping was great and prompt. Would buy again. Enjoy.

It has a matte finish. Its not susceptible to glass glare coming from a light source.

It is a shiny chrome metal, not textured or brushed. The smoothe surface really bounces even more light around the room.

It's glass - it doesn't melt at these temperatures. You can choose different colors. It reflects the light and heat very well. we use it in our living room gas fire place. No Logs. Looks cool!

It is a beautiful light finish. It doesn't seem to have that fake look about it like on the particle board put together yourself computer desks.

They feel plastic to me, in looking at them I would of thought they were wood but feel plastic, I think it would be ok. It is a pretty light, sends off prism flecks on the ceiling.

Yes, oranges and blues. More blues on mine. Also, in some lighting when not lit with a candle, the glass pieces are so reflective they look like mirrors making the colors harder to see. Plus that black mortar between the glass pieces is dominant. So it's not bright bright blue and orange in the total effect. It's more shimmering and reflective with blue and organ mixed in. I like mine very much.

It is a glossy glass surface, but it's reflectivity would depend upon the ambient light in the room.

The glass is smoked, opaque. The light is very soft. I just put an island in my kitchen the this light is perfect, the light shows directly on the island. I hope this helps.
