Is there much glare from the bulb with no shade? Do you find yourself squinting when you look at it? I like the style but am wondering.

I have an amber Edison bulb in mine, and it's beautiful. Mine gives off more heat that glare.

I think so. For 25$ I would give it try. I have one bulb without shade. Other is with shade. I usually sit by unshaded bulb. Also Bulbs are very bright they make the room feel nice. I have one in bathroom that one helps with my contact lens every morning. Good luck. If they don't help please seek professional help. It is not worth living in funk all the time.

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.

I was not impressed. If you ever need bright lighting (i.e. for reading, etc.), then you may want to go with a higher-wattage version. The light is nice, but if you can 'see' the bulbs, they do have some glare to them as they are clear, not frosted. If you are just looking for something that will give nice ambient lighting, you should be fine with them, though. I ended up using these in open, recessed can fixtures above our downstairs bar and they are fine there - but I don't need a bright light in that location. Also - these are NOT dimmable, so if the lamp has a 3-way switch, you may want to look at other options. Hope that helps!

Have you tried looking at night? The light isn't very bright in the sunlight but if it;s working you should be able to see it if you shade it with your hand. If not the bulb may have shook loose in shipping.

u can see fine but one side seems not to have beam kinda spread out.. If want better lighting would not get these.. and adjustment is hard to get right.. screw strips out of plastic... I love the look.. maybe with briter bulb would be better.

I bought mine during the holidays, haven't had much sun since. However it is in a room with a 10' picture window facing north. I have had no issues with lighting as of yet.

To me...it's no glare. I have it sitting inside a cabinet so I suppose this could affect it, but I have had no issues at all with glare. Hope this helps.

None that I am aware of at present. I installed my Full Spectrum Light Bulbs (ALZO 45W CFL) in light sockets without a globe or shade (not my original plan). Used in this fashion they throw a lot of light as long as you aren't too concerned about appearances.One is mounted horizontally and another vertically. Both have been in service since the beginning of this year without any problem.

There is a lens over the bulb but it is bright and does not have any glare. Love it.

I would argue that the glare is a non issue altogether. I really think people who complain about glare are simply LCD/LED fanboys. My unit is in a sun-drenched room with wrap-around ceiling to floor windows and I've never had an issue with glare. I do need to close the blinds in the day, but that's the tradeoff for a superior picture from a display that doesn't double as a neon flashlight. So in sum, screen brightness can be an issue, but for me that's easily resolved with the blinds. Glare has never been an issue for me. I continue to stand by my initial statement that this is the finest screen I've ever viewed when broken in and calibrated properly.

I only noticed it because I was looking for it due to reading other people's comments. Mostly I just leave a different lamp on that doesn't reflect from where I usually watch tv. Also you can adjust the angle of the tv so it doesn't reflect the lights. I live alone so this is easy. It's really no problem.

I have the natural light shade. It doesn't block all light out like a blackout curtain. I do live on a corner street and have car headlights all the time. It does keep most of those lights dimmed at least.

I have not notice until you asked... I felt the front of the TV where lamp is installed. It is not exceptionally warm. It is about the same as the 46" Sony LCD TV that I have. I hope this answer your question.

Mine looks like that and it is a daylight bulb. I really like reading with my lamp.

Personally I think these give off an artificial yellowy tinted light. I would suggest going with a different bulb if you're looking for a natural quality to the light it produces.

I haven't. But You can use any bulb that you prefer as long as it fits with the base, the fixture's dimension and the maximum wattage allowed. What I use for this one is actually a globe bulb. I love it because the lighting is very pleasing in the eyes. Bright yet cozy. Plus, it's really durable and high quality. Hope it helps!
