Can you see the light bulbs through the shade when the light is off?

No, you cannot see the light bulbs through the shade when it's turned off. We're very happy with the purchase.

Yes, there are bright blue lights that show through the clear plastic band. You can turn these lights off if you wish. It is hard to tell in the picture but right under the band and before the black is an open space.

No. I had to check and when the switch is up the light on the switch goes off. They only illuminate when they're in the down/off position.

We have 2 of these on our wall next to the TV. I cannot see the bulbs on either one.

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.

There isn't a shade, but since the base of the bulb only comes down to about half the depth of the shade, you don't really see it - if that makes sense? You'd have to be standing practically underneath to see the bulb.

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

Yes. Outlines and shadows can be seen thru the shade cloth, but faces and details cannot be seen.

the bottom is not covered, so depending on the height the light is hung, you would likely see the lightbulbs.

I do believe it can be turned off/on once it is pulled out to look through. So yes you have option to turn light on and off.

It does let light through the shade...as to reading ...well i think that probably has more to do w/ how many bulbs and the watts. HOpe that helps

When looking up inside the shade you will see the bulb. There is no plastic barrier between the bulb and bottom. I have my fixture over my kitchen table and never see the bulb while just sitting there. The end of the bulb sits 4 inches inside the bottom of the shade. Unless I purposely lean to look under the shade, I never see the bulb. Also, the bottom of shade sits 30 inches above the table. Hope this helps.

We have the shade turned up, but you can do the shade down. I think the shade is screwed in and then the light bulb holds it in place too. I won't swear to that. I love the look of this light, it gives a warm glow and looks beautiful in our hallway.

Ahhhh, duh, only if the sensor is able to see motion! You need to ask yourself, can the sensor see any motion, from being covered by the shade? No? Then the answer is No. Who asks some of these questions......

Nope, all the bulbs are on or off at the same time. It would have been nice... but we are still happy with the lamp.
