How does it look without shades, just bare candle-style bulbs? I'm concerned that this may not give off enough light based on other people's comments.

I don't know the answer to that, we have it in the bedroom and I love the detail on the bottom! Really nice fan.

It depends on where you were going to use it. If its the only light source in a large room then maybe not enough. Ours is abouve our bed and its enough. Without the shade im sure it would look fine with the right bulb.

It should give off a little bit more more light. I also replaced with clear and LED(?) lights and I think it helped. I wished I found one that came with 6-8 light bulbs for more lighting, but I needed one that is simple yet conservative/elegant, less frills... I'm still very happy with this purchase.

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.

It is not a bright light but very similar to a real candle. Don't know if that helps or not.

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 just have the cream candles, the small ones. They aren't very bright. I've got them all on one table, they look nice but don't give off a whole lot of light. The light seems to be a sort of golden glow. Doesn't look orange to me.

I am not sure. I never asked. Perhaps a higher wattage bulb or a globe that is clear would improve the amount of light.

The light quality is very white(?,) not like sunlight or regular (incandescent) light bulbs. This helps me because I think I have (a) cataract(s.) This light quality may not be to the likings of some people. It is artificial... of course... lol!

I think the light these give off are nice. Not so yellow looking. For K do your own research. Good Luck

This looks like a great shade for my modern style house. I am concerned about the view from the bottom as I want to put this on a very high ceiling and no information provided covers this detail. Is it bare (to the bulb/fixture) or is there some sort of diffuser? If so, is it nice? As to fixture hardware to you suggest the recommended pairing off the website? It looks like the max drop would be 3" for base, 15" for rod, 10" for shade = 28 off the ceiling.

Tammy, I'm afraid my bulb was defective when received and had to be returned. I believe some others have described some of the things which you are now seeing. Check all of the reviews. Good luck.

It's actually really pretty without the shade or you definitely could use a different shade. I love mine.

I think the shade is thick glass. It's possible that it could be a thick resin, but it certainly has the look of glass. It does not look cheap or thin. It looks very nice. It has 2 bulbs. Each operated with a pull chain.

I have 2 in my bedroom their big beautiful lamps,, you could use these without the shade, or buy a white shade to cover them.. good luck.....

In my upward-lighting chandelier, it looks great. Some other LED bulbs did not light the bottom part of the glass, but this one does. If you don't have frosted glass, though, it would definitely look really weird. I did not fully understand from the description or picture that these bulbs are basically flat. If your glass were not frosted, it would look like a 1" thick rectangle from the side. In a frosted glass fixture, though, you would never know.

Well, the 3 bulbs on gives quite a bit of light, but you have to remember that the shades are opaque so no light comes through them, therefore the light is very directional.

Depends upon whattage of light used. As with all lamps light is directed down and out. Not much through shade as it is dark, but very nice to look at. More decorative than providing a lot of light.

I actually think that wouldn't look bad at all...i love my light..if you need more light you may need to get LED bulbs as the Edison style is not very bright.
