Can this be used with a normal shade too (assuming it has a wide, round disk rather than a small finnal hole), or is it for paper lanterns only?

I don't see why not. It depends on the type of shade. As the bulb hangs down from the socket a normal shade would have to be attached upside down.

It accepts any size / wattage bulb however, you should check the lantern you are using it with for the max wattage for the lantern. I am using it with a paper lantern and it's max is 40. DO NOT EXCEED WHAT THE LANTERN SAYS! (Yes, I've made that mistake in the past. It isn't pretty)

No, this is made for a smaller lantern. Check with the Coleman Co. for a model that will fit your lantern.

Better with hanging latern cords. There isn't any place to put for ex. candle lights but i found this which could be used: Vakind 24x White LED Party Lights For Paper Lanterns Balloons Floral Decoration light. And similar products of course

Probably, it's a standard mounting square. Don't expect the light to last more than a few days. You'd be better off with an led lantern on a hook.

You can probably use any shade out there provided it has that right sized notch in it. Which means it's best that you have them physically together since the photos here aren't detailed enough to make that comparison.

It would depend on the bottom of the lantern. What size is that as it attaches to the post? The lantern we used is 18" high by 10" wide.

You just need to purchase a light cord if you want to use as a lamp. Search for paper lantern light cord.

As long as your lamp has a harp with threaded center post, you're fine to go. You may have to change the height of the harp, however, if the shade looks too high or low. (I've never run across a shade without a center hole - I think the spider connection is the thing at the top of the shade). Sorry I'm not more precise on this.

I don't think it would work well that way. It seem to work better the higher up the pole it is, since that allows it to give a wider area of light. I think if you needed to do that, you would be better off buying some sort of lantern to put on the table instead.

The light bulb is exposed (nothing covers the bulb) but does not hang below the bottom of the shade, I used a large bulb like the one pictured with good results with respect to both function and appearance. A standard bulb would work as well.

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.

This is not a paper shade. It is laminated and feels like plastic on the inside and fabric on the outside. I put clinging decals on it for decoration. Thin craft paints might bleed but heavier ones would work on the fabric and you should be able to glue decorative trims on it without any problems.

Hello, Thank you for your inquiry! The sky lanterns are meant to fly, they can not be used like lamps. They should also not be anchored down once they are lit that can become a fire hazard. I would recommend using a basic round paper lantern if you would like to use it for decorations, those will work out better. Please do not hesitate to contact us if you have any further questions, we would be happy to assist you. Customer Service RepresentativeJust Artifacts1-866-620-8328

I did what the directions said and fixed my own lantern to the top with stainless screws. i used a wood post for the center but i do not see why you would not be able to use the round post. I would pre drill the metal post so you can attache to hold it square and in place. hope this helps

With a conventional truncated cone shaped shade, a lot of light is reflected down by the shade so it works quite well. If you have a more cylindrical shade it may not be as good.

Depends on the orientation of the electrical box inside the wall, and whether the two screws that hold the body of the light itself will line up. Additionally, the shade itself is only anchored in one place, on top, to hold it in place. You would put a stress on the opposite end with nothing holding it in place with the weight of gravity.
