My shade has a flat spider across the top, would it sit too low on the lamp? Can I put a longer bolt in so that the shade is higher?

My shade also has a flat spider on top and it works just fine with the lamp. As far as a longer bolt goes, I can not answer that question. If I understand correctly, it should be okay.

You can see from the construct of the adapter that the clips will go around the bulb at roughly 1" below the bottom of the bolt - maybe more, so the shade *will* sit higher. I'm guessing the bolt has been soldered onto the device and cannot be replaced with a longer one. Thanks for making me look more closely because I've been struggling to find a clip-on shade just a little shorter than most, and now I can go with a spider shade!

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.

If you twist the raised ring somewhat near the lamp counterclockwise, you can move that part of the lamp in and out of the other rod, so it's either longer or shorter. A friend assembled mine for me, and he set it to maximum length. When I went to shorten it, I thought the part that moves was *very* stiff and hard to shove down into the larger rod. It also didn't adjust as much as I expected, or I couldn't get it to go in much more than 6-7 inches.

I just posted two images that show the spider on this shade. I think seeing the spider will answer your question.

The Square Black Lamp Shade is what is called a "spider". It has a center metal hole with four little metal rods suspending it from the sides of the shade. It slips over/on the top of a lamp harp and is screwed down with a finial. Other shades are clip on or Uno (Euro) shades that fit on a lamp without a harp. (Amazon sells a "converter" to allow a harp to be attached to an uno lamp). We are very pleased with these shades (bought two for entry Buffet Lamps). When the light is turned on there is a hint of the shimmery pattern of the gold lining behind the black fabric. Even with my polished chrome and silver it is striking and receives tons of compliments.

My experience is similar to that of JMG. I have my arc lamp extended the full 35 inches. It looks really good and is fully functional. I placed mine next to a chaise lounge where I do a lot of reading. I have had no problems with the base. If I extended the lamp less than 35 inches, it would not direct the light to the right place.

The problem is not with the clamp where it attaches to your fixture, the problem is at the end where the clamp attaches to the lamp and lampshade. That part is so weak it will not support the weight of the lamp or lampshade so whenever you try to position it, it sags. The clamp attaches to the lamp body with some kind of screw type latch, and it is what is flimsy and weak for the weight it should be able to support. Now if you plan to use the clam where the lamp hangs upside down, then I this weakness will work for you. But I say, Don't buy it. Let the manufacturer make it work correctly, cause right now It sucks. Even the lampshade is flimsy, and can bend or dent easily.

I went to mount mine on a 4" post and the hexagonal base was larger than the 4" post. I cut a piece of 2x6 in a hexagon shape about an inch larger than the lamp all the way around. I then attached the 2x6 hexagon to the top of the 4x4 and mounted the lamp on top. I have had many complements on how nice they look. Obviously they are not as bright as an electric version, but they are the brightest solar version I have ever found!

Yes, the type of lamps that I have is that the shade sits on top and I have a knob that I have to use to screwed my shade on. I hope this has been helpful. This shade is not the type of shade that has the prongs where you can just sit it on your light bulb.

The bolt is about 3/8 inch. My shade had about 1/2 inch hole but when the top thing ( "nut"?) Is fastened it holds. You might be able to get a washer or a smaller nut to fit on the bolt before you put it into the hole in the lampshade. But regardless, I think Amazon will accept returns on it if it doesn't fit.

The spider is a cross frame located at or near the top of the shade. I wish I could send you a picture. The frame on this shade is near the top of the shade - there are two cross pieces forming an X with the hole in the center for mounting the shade on the lamp harp with a finial.

It's how the shade sits on the lamp: http://www.home-concept.com/design_tips_lampshade_guide.htmlHope that helps.

I do not have a light bulb which fits this lamp so I don't know how the shade fits. If the bulb was normal, the small shade would fit over it. The shade is separate and is not screwed into the base but is supposed to be manually placed over the bulb. I hope this helps.

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.

It would loom better with having something in base of lamp. Hope this helps.

A dome light would be fine on top. I have a large branch from the front bottom corner to the top adjacent corner and it's placing some pressure on the screen, but it appears to be fine. But definitely a dome heat lamp will rest on there just fine.

Yes....There are 2 adjustments locations that can lower the height of the lamp.Aeie
