Once the 150 watt bulb is in, does it peek from the top of the shade or is the bulb well hidden? A lot of the energy saving bulbs are so big

The bulb is well hidden...although I don't use an energy saving bulb in this fixture. I'm sure it would be fine though.

I changed the shade so it doesn't show. Didn't like the milky white shades that came with it.

I am 5'3", and I can't see it peek out, but my husband is 6'2" and he can see the bulb. The tip of the bulb coil is about half an inch above the lip of the glass. Since the lamp is tall, though, we don't mind how it looks.

Hello ... I am using a traditional 30/70/100 three way incandescent bulb in both of my lamps (I have two of the same model lamp) ... the top of this style of bulb is about 5 millimeters below the top rim of the lamp shade. The tip of the bulb is not visible even for a fairly tall individual when viewing the lamp from way across the room. The 30/70/100 bulb gives very nice range of lighting options and I actually keep both lamps in the 30 watt settings most of the time.

Hidden from view by the shade; At the top of the stand just below where the light bulb is screwed in.

Not really. Like any lamp, you don't want to touch near the bulb, but it's the heat is not as bad as you think it will be for a lamp this bright.

Dear Michiganian,I tested the bulb and touched it while it was on. Didn't know or care before. You can touch the plastic part where the light shines through, no problem as it is only warm. The metal part in the middle of the bulb does get a little hotter though, I would say hotter than warm, but not really hot. I can still touch it. Hope that answers your question.

True. If you get down low and look up at the light , you can see the bulb. . Not really a deal breaker. Mine is high in a stairwell. I like it.

You can not see bulbs out of top. They (the glass shade) are a little over 5 inches tall. I had to reach up and over but that's about the height. We love this fixture.

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

To your second question, you can hide the bulb by moving it to a side with the bulb fixrure

I feel it lets through a lot of the light. I only have two bulbs in my fan fixture. It's not super bright but it wasn't with my previous shade.

We have 75 watt bulbs in it and you can not see the bulbs from the top. One came with a slight chip , but you can't see that too much either. It is a very nice fixture.

None that I am aware of at present. I installed my Full Spectrum Light Bulbs (ALZO 45W CFL) in light sockets without a globe or shade (not my original plan). Used in this fashion they throw a lot of light as long as you aren't too concerned about appearances.One is mounted horizontally and another vertically. Both have been in service since the beginning of this year without any problem.

This socket is rated at 150 watt maximum so I think your good to go, however don't use a shade just the bulb that way heat will disapate.

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.

We put the panel at the top so that it would be easier to change the lights bulbs from below and so that no bugs could fall down into the lights, just wipe off the top - it looks fine to me and easier to take care of.

The tree trunk is attached and the lampshade can be removed. The shade is neat, it is plain until you turn on the bulb.

it's a little black knob under the shade, up near the bulb. It may have come out during shipping. Check the box for a black knob in that case, and just reattach it.

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
