Has anyone used this in a lamp with a transluscent shade? Does it light the entire shade?

I have this lamp in a fixture in a laundry room, it has a radius of about 180 degrees so the back side of the bulb is dark.

This bulb is a spot light bulb, and all the light is focused upward. I have in a floor lamp and the shade is not illuminated.

I use a 40 watt bulb, and it casts a nice warm glow. I have to warn you that I bought one for myself and one sent to a friend. Both lamps were very poorly packaged and cheaply made. I sent mine back for a replacement, and even the replacement was a bit damaged. I kept it; it's a good enough lamp for the price, but know that you may have to re-thread the lampshade or iron out some dents. That said, I've had the lamp for a while and it has performed well and if I turn the dented side to the wall, it looks pretty nice too.

Hello Jack, I was wondering the exact same thing. Did you get an answer? Do they have a table top lamp with this shade?

It doesn't fit directly on the bulb. If you google "parts of a lampshade", you'll see a what is called a harp............three spokes that meet in the middle and are secured to the "harp".I LOVE this shade - I'm not sure that it is the shade for a chandelier? Good luck! Betty

Yes. The lamp shade does not have to be used. An interesting or different light bulb should work well.

The light given off by this lamp/bulb is not noticeably different from an incandescent bulb. That is, it warm and has no flicker sometimes found on CFLs. I use it with an in-socket dimmer which gives me a greater range of light levels than a three-way bulb. Also, this lamp gives off very little heat which saves on cooling in warm climates.

I have it on a lamp with a 3way bulb it is fine. The brighter light is good because it fills the whole room and makes getting up SO much easier. It also has a switch-on option so you can use the lamp other times. I love it.

Not 100% sure. I tried it in 2 different lamps and it didn't work in either.

Hi Irene, thanks for the question. This lampshade widens out from the top-->down and should be fine with your double light fixture. The only thing we'd recommend is not to use heavy wattage, or even LEDs because they might burn the shade from overheating. We hope this helps. If you need anything else Irene, please reach out to one of our awesome experts! Not only do they know everything, but they're literally sitting right next to their phones right now :)Hansen Wholesale1-800-201-1193

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?

I would not put in a touchier lamp. Too much lamp brightness. Putting this in a ceiling lamp is more appealing and useful. I would not put it into a lamp that confines it either. That would make it to directional.

It is never too hot to touch the metal desklamp shade I have above it. It gets very warm but not hot. I would say less than or about the same as a 40 watt bulb.

No but I do have it in a fixture that has a reflector shield around it to concentrate the light. It is as hot as a regular light bulb.

Yes it does. But it takes as short a bulb as you can find. The shades could stand to be made a little taller. I ended up using some short instant on CFL's. It looks great on or off. Nice fixture.

Hi, I use the bulb in a lamp with a shade next to the bed for reading. The light does not seem focused in a particular direction -- but widely diffused -- possible influenced by the shade. Nevertheless, combining it with a dimmer switch made it the right ecological choice -- needed the brightness to allow these sixty year old eyes to read well in the evenings .... and dimmed ... as an ambient light when not reading. Hope this helps -- I do like the bulb -- also, it doesn't seem to run as 'hot' as traditional lightbulbs.

If put a shade on it, you'll cover the part of the lamp that is supposed to vary light intensity in order to support the sleeping cycle. If you're trying to cover the bright display panel, then your shade would have to cover the entire lamp. I can't see that the lamp would serve any purpose if you did that.

I use a fluorescent bulb, so the shade does not get hot for me; but I believe that if one were to use an incandescent bulb the shade could get hot but you should still be able to maneuver the shade safely from the rear of the shade near the switchm
