Can you use a plastic shade with this cord?

I am not too sure what this question is asking. This cord is made for the stars and it goes inside hanging down from the ceiling...how would you use it? What would prop up the shade itself? If it is hanging down from a hook with a bulb pointed down I see no reason why not.

I used it with a chinese lantern. I guess if you could use it with paper, you could use it with plastic. Don't really know for sure.

I don't see why not. Just make sure no part of the shade is touching the light bulb.

My shade brought two plastic brakets that can be secured to the wall. They secure the shade when fully extended.

If you use a regular bulb, I would think you would have to use one that "clips" on the bulb. I have some bulbs that are the CFL's and they are shaped like an incandescent bulb. With this kit I use a flicker bulb, so no shade.

I suppose it is possible, though there is no obvious way to fasten a shade and most of its height is light so the shade would need to be bigger than the unit. The image of the light is accurate, it is not a decorative lamp at all, and it is rather short to function as a shaded lamp.

Yes. Where the cord goes thru the metal bracket, there is a plastic piece around the cord that can be unscrewed to loosen it's pinch grip on the cord. Then move the cord to the desired length and tighten the plastic piece to grip the cord.

No, it has a plastic cord that rotates the top cylinder rolling up or down...over the years ..that and weather can cause the plastic cord to break...but these shades do what they are intended to do

If it is a single light bulb pointing straight down and it is not too small, the shade should work.

You could put a different shade on it, but I wouldn't go without a shade altogether... I don't think it would look good.

yes the shade is removable but there is no on or off switch attached to the cord

Probably not. At least the ones I have do have cords. However they are easy to use and I rate them highly. There may be an electric option to move the shades. Since I can reach mine easily, the cords are fine. I've had them about 9 months. They are still in good shape. The color is fading on the area that is hit by the sun when rolled up, but it in minimal.

Yes. I put shade cloth over the top and 1 side for privacy. Works and looks good.

This type of shade needs to be secured to the socket by a plastic or twist on attachment that screws onto the light socket. I doubt if your chandelier has the necessary fitting.

When you tighten the shade, the corners will form somewhat of an arc. The corners are not in a straight line and therefore I would say no.

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.

it's a stretchy material, so if you really wanted to you could, but i don't because it could possibly scratch the plastic cover. i usually just wrap the cord up and keep it separately!

The stress load will be at a different angle on the plastic and I believe the weight of the soil would cause it to fracture. You could possibly anchor it first to wood and then use eye bolts to attach the cable to the wood; I think there's less chance of failure that way.

Try using a light clap with metal hood available at Home Depot. Or make your own using a socket, electrical cord and plug - wrap cord around top of stand and secure with a either large binder clips or claps again available at Home Depot. Not sure how you provide shade to the last option. Good luck.
