I have a base, can I use the ball without the base provided or is the LED in the base?

There is a stud protruding from the plastic, so the ball needs to fit in a base with a hole through it.

You can use the ball without the base provided. The LED assembly sits *below* the glass globe, and is covered by the base provided, so if you don't use the one provided, you will need to provide another that will work. I didn't care for the concrete look of the provided one, and substituted a 4-inch diameter PVC pipe about 4 inches high. I ran a line of removable silicone caulking around the top, to prevent the intrusion of moisture (removable because at some point the battery will need to be changed). Thus far things are working well. Picture a plain black base instead of the concrete looking one provided. I gave one of these as a present; the giftee likes the provided base, and will keep it. Hope this helps.

The battery powered one is so you don't have to run a cord. That is what I wanted I kept getting one with a cord from them. The ball is really cool. You can set so it flashes to the beat or lights up and spins all the time.

I think it's a standard base. I initially put cfl bulbs in the unit then switched to LED. Hope this helps.

The ball is NOT included. The cover is easily removed from the case. I had a plaque made and engraved that fits on the front of the wood of the base. Looks GREAT!

An LED light can be used. It is designed for use with one standard E26 bulb up to 200 Watts (not included).

the globe is screwed to the base. Just hold the ribbed nut located between the globe and the base and unscrew the globe. You will have access to the bulb.

it comes with a special cfl bulb, the base is not screw in and even if you could get a incandescent bulb to fit, it would melt the plastic housing

This fixture is at my customers sink so I can't look at it. However since there is an LED bulb made for every base that I know of, I would be certain that there is some form of LED bulb you can use in this. It is open at the top so it is not considered an enclosed fixture. If you will find out the base required once you receive this you can Google or eBay that base and the word LED and you will find your bulb. It is truly an incredibly beautiful fixture.

As I understand it LED's do not need either a ballast or starter. You would need to wire around it or remove it.

The LED's are not available separately. If it were to malfunction you can always contact us about it. Sincerely, Liz

NOT REALLY.You can NOT add a light without a major pain in the ass. The threads on the flag pole may be 1/2" in diameter, BUT, they are also COARSE pitch (eg, 10 threads per inch) whereas all the other balls you might buy with extended shafts are FINE pitch (eg, 12 threads per inch). So for all intents and purposes, the thread socket atop this flagpole is unique to this company! GRRR!!!!!! :(

Yes, you have to plug the light in and unplug it for each use, as there is no switch on it. The ball has an on/off switch to make it rotate and is battery operated.

It comes with lights, but you don't have to use them. You can use your own balls if you want to and keep the ones that it comes with as spares.

no, the base and back is one solid piece. You can use the ball as a standalone though.

I'm not 100% certain, but I believe the LED can be dismounted from the clear piece of plastic that runs through the middle of the drive. That would stop the LED from shining through that strip. I'm not sure if you can disconnect the LED completely, but I would start with just removing it from the plastic piece in the middle.

You would need to convert the fixture into an outlet so you could plug in the motor and hang the ball from that. It has screw holes to attach to a ceiling. Then you would need a light from a few feet away to light the ball.

The light is the pinspot I think. it is not that good of a pinspot. What I hate most about this product is that the cord on the ball turning stand is actually not there included. The picture looks like it is there but it is not. I would return this crap if I could.
