I have purchased 2 of these lamps and love the look! I am wondering if the shades can be treated with Scotch-gard to add protection.

Good morning, SW. Yes, you may treat the shades with Scotch-gard. I hope you find this information helpful. Adreanna, Plow & Hearth Customer Service

Yes I did, but only loosely. The design to screw everything together is very difficult to make work. It is not designed for the end user. This does represent some risk. If the lamp tips over and remains on, there is some chance of fire in the worst possible case. I should also mention that I bought 4 lamps and one of the dimmer switches went out on me immediately. I had a spare that I had previously bought and I replaced the dimmer and the lamp is now working fine.

Hi Gabriella. I think you can but I would check with the people who make the TaoTronics grow light to make sure. I was using the taotronics light with the woods lamp and the light started turning off and on and making a noise. So I stopped using it. I tried just some regular lights bulbs to see where the problem was, in the light or the lamp, and it's in the lamp. My lamp has some wiring issues. So I hope this helps you. Have a good day.

I am sorry - I returned the item without ever getting the stand out. There was a residue on the shade so I did not keep it.

I have them on dark mahogany end tables and I think they go very well. It is quite a contrast but I suppose that was what my wife was looking for when she had me order them. I wasn't surprised they came in two pieces, after all, it would be silly to ship a lamp with the shade attached. At least that was my thinking when I ordered two, one for each end table. The two extra lamps made a wonderful Christmas gift for my mother-in-law and I now know what is meant by "2-Piece".

You absolutely need the mini shades for the intended look as designed. Need to bear in mind the tiny bulbs are mostly for a decorative effect and not for providing any meaningful illumination.

I would put in lamp shades in key words...or look up Ashley furniture and do the same. Good luck

My best idea is try one of these: 15-Pack E12 to E26 / E27 Adapter - JACKYLED Chandelier Socket (E12) to Medium Socket (E26/E27) Converter ,Max Wattage 1000W,200&#x2103; Heat Resistant,No Fire HazardBut I don't know if you'd be able to get the glass back on or not. I'd hope so, as I love the look of this, but would want better and easier to find bulbs too!

I did both lamps with a little left over. Have not needed warranty yet but it's only been about 2 month since I restored them

I wouldn't if there is any chance for it to get greasy. You would have to hand clean the crystals on it and then I'm not too sure what you would clean the shade with. It's a beautiful light but to be around grease...would not recommend.

You can't leave the light on for any length of time with a conventional incandescent light (the old-fashioned light bulbs) because of the heat generated--it will blister the shade. I guess you could try one of the CFL or LED bulbs which generate way less heat. Why don't you buy one of the banker's lamps with the glass shades, they are about the same price, come in green and amber shades, and you can run any type of bulb--that is what I finally had to do, get a replacement shade for my old lamp and send this normandie one back because it blistered--it was a fire hazard.

My landscapers did it for me - they got one that was slightly bigger than the stake that comes out of the lamp - that keeps it from tilting too much in there with the wind, etc, and I think they also put something in there to stabilize it. The benefit is that they could make the stake a lot longer that way, and it has really stabilized the lamp. They look great and they have stayed put during some big winds....

Actually, I'm not sure. The light diffusing cover is plastic and maybe a halogen lamp might prove too hot and damage or melt it.

you don't really need to. the shade is matte and already looks brushed. this is an excellent lamp - I have two of them.

I have had a doctor say it is not safe to use these lamps for extended periods. It is like too much sun exposure. Don't know how it compares with the other lights but we still like this one after a year or two.

We put large globe shaped 110W bulbs in them because we liked the look. They could take LEDs or compact fluorescent, but the bulb might be way up in the neck. If i were using a small bulb i would probably use an extension to get it down to the edge of the shade. They are nice shades.

don't think so. there are vent holes that can let water in and thus damage the lamp if directly exposed to water. Also, there is a fan that can become damaged as well. BTW, the fan noise is noticeable and out of three units one failed within a week.
