We don't carry covers, but perhaps you may find something in hardware stores that might work.

A lamp near by will cause a glare..i use mine in the finished cellar with recessed lighting...no glare.

Try a small piece of scotch tape, layer if needed. The tape will diffuse some of the light.

I don't know about decorative, but they are frosted for use in a vanity or bathroom fixture. Meaning that the bulbs themselves do not need to be covered by a shade. However, please be aware that they are not "instant on." I am using these bulbs in the same fixture with non-LED bulbs. The LED bulbs light up half a second after the non-LED bulbs, which is disconcerting.

What I did was build a 4 sided box with an open top surrounding the fixture. This eliminates the contact of insulation and allowing heat to escape if any.

We hung them outside of the light (we have parabolic, three light fixtures). It looked a little too "drape-y" so we went with plastic light sleeves that cover the bulb themselves.

use a candelabra bulb, the picture makes it look like it has a shade over it but it doesnt. i hung it in my bedroom over my bed just for soft lighting.

While you might be able to MacGuyver a solution that could work, I don't believe these covers were intended for that style of light. They're more for the Par-36 pin spot style DJ/theater light.

I'm unsure, the light comes attached to the fan. So, I'm guessing there would be a way to remove the light fixture, but unsure if there would be a cover to replace were the fixture was! I really do like the fan!

I just set them down over the light canisters and then placed insulation over them. This was a retrofit as the canisters were already installed and I put these in later when remodeling.

Cut a hole in the center of an aluminum pie pan large enough to stay away from the Edison threads. Then put the base of the bulb through the hole and screw it into the socket. This will reflect the light down, and in the case that it is in a barn, it also protects the bulb from some of the bird droppings. That's the way we do things out here on the "farm".

I bought led bulbs for ours at home depot ($5 or $6/each). This really improved the look from curly cfl's that we had when it was installed. Bulbs are still visible from the other side of the room but appear as slightly rounded and don't attract (bad) attention.

There is a plexiglass type bottom panel to help diffuse the light. It is cloudy/ opaque so you can't see the actual bulbs.

Is it a single-bulb fixture where the bulb won't have a globe or other glass over it? I have it illuminating my hallway and it's actually a bit brighter than I would have imagined, would probably work well over an island counter.

Definitely cool; we have them installed in the kitchen and more of the gray tones in the granite are much more noticeable when they are on. I find them more useful for a task light than for an accent light. Remember this kind of lighting being listed as neutral in some of the research but they definitely lean to the cool side of the spectrum.

I haven't tried to cover mine, but maybe the glass ones that you fit on the light where the bulb goes into to light cover and then you screw both light and cover into outlet.Sorry couldn't help more.

Yes, there is a hard plastic cover that fits into place on the bottom to diffuse the light.
