can I use a different lampshade on this lamp, a narrower, taller one?

The lamp has a bracket that arcs over the bulb, and the top of the shade has a fitting that resets on the bracket.

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.

If you do not mind changing the design, and can get a proper fit, you should be able to do so.

Well, I suppose you could use any shape as long as it didn't hit the wall, but the shade that comes with it is chosen specifically as the most appropriate design.

Should do - the dimensions are very close to standard lamps that haven't changed for decades. I had to adjust the holding collars on three out of the ten that I did. HTH, Allan

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.

I suppose you could get a longer pole to allow it to be attached to an angled ceiling. I did replace the candelabra bulb with what I think maybe is an LED candelabra bulb (more fluorescent looking light), but not sure, since the bulb that came with it is very dim. The new bulb is also dim-just not as much as the other. The bulb I bought was recommended by someone else on Amazon who replaced it. If you look through the reviews you should come upon his.

That might be too small. If the shade can slide over the bulb socket it will fit. I cut the wire on my shade to go over the bulb socket. There are pictures in the comments.

!!! NO !!! Nor can you use a Different Wattage Lamp! Ofcourse, I guess you could take all the "Ballast Stuff" out and then replace with just a "Regular Bulb"

I took a decorative finial off another lamp and tried it and it fit just fine. Guess it is a standardized size.

The hole at the top of the lampshade measures 7", it sits atop the harp shaped shade holder where you secure it with a finial. The shape widens out immediately from the top. The area around the bulb is closer to the 16.5" measurement. I don't think there will be a problem accommodating two bulbs. Be sure to use the correct wattage to prevent burning the shade.

By glass diffuser you mean what I call the "globe" the shade fits on, I can tell you that mine is 10" diameter, but the shade brackets are designed to fit a little bigger diameter as well. There's a range that it would work on. You might email the company to ask the range if you have more than 11." I found it so difficult to find any shade that fits this antique lamp that I love, that I was delighted to find this online. Most other stores with big lampshade inventory (Restoration Hardware, etc.) don't carry anything that will fit my lamp.

My oops, the floor lamp has the 17 inch width lampshade with about 11 inch width circle on floor. The table version lampshade has a 16 inch width and an 8 inch width of circle on the table. The table lamp is definitely not 17 inches, that confused me. They are worth the purchase! Dianna

You can adjust the angle of the glass hood; the lamp is not otherwise adjustable.

The bottom of the shade on my lamp is at about 72". The arc of the extension tube goes higher. There are two possible adjustment locations, one on the base and one on the tube, but I don't know how that affects the height.

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!

No, this version is only for the special lamps. There is another bulb that will fit regular lamps

Yes. The shade that comes with it is the type that is supported from a ring that sits on top of the part the light bulb screws in. So any other type of shade with that same support (pretty generic / very common) would work.

Hi C.Lindsey, the one I got is very close to 9 inches. My problem is there is no instructions on how to change the bankers lamp shade. I hope this helps. :)

Sure, as long as the lamp base is not huge. My lamps have a 5" wide base and there is still plenty of room for other things. Plus the inner medallion isn't hurt by a glass that sweats. I have the coffee table, also and use saddle soap to polish the outer ring.
