Bulbs stick out the top, are not flush with the top of the shade like in the picture, anybody have suggestions on bulbs to use so they are not visible

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.

lol I had the same problem. I think u might be trying cfl bulbs,as i am, to save the energy cost. Maybe try an incandescent bulb (but they cost more to use) .... maybe &gt;&gt;&gt;&gt; http://www.amazon.com/Bulb-Equal-Incandescent-White-Units/dp/B00GYP8LQ0/ref=sr_1_5?s=hi&ie=UTF8&qid=1420626953&sr=1-5&keywords=incandescent+bulb OR http://www.amazon.com/100-Watt-Medium-Globe-Incandescent-Light/dp/B00A2XCDDW/ref=sr_1_6?s=hi&ie=UTF8&qid=1420626953&sr=1-6&keywords=incandescent+bulb

I know exactly what you mean and my son who is 6'5" said it burns his eyes! What I did was raise the light a few extra inches and its fine now. It still looks good, its over our kitchen table.

Standard incandescent lamps are too large for this chandelier. Both Home Depot and Lowes carry a smaller 60 watt incandescent lamp that do protrude significantly from the top of the tulips. Also available in the smaller forma are newer LED lamps.

youd have to do some macgyvering to get that to work. i assume the bulbs upside down. i supose u could if it hangs on a chord but it would look kind of ghetto. plus youd have to make sure the bulb doesnt touch the shade. good luck with that one.

I dont like mine. Get the bigger one that has a handle that sticks up. this one is too little for light bulbs and second step is shakey.

the bulb shows out of the bottom of the shade it would look better if it didn't i am still looking to find an alternative bulb

Its been a year and we are still using the bulbs that came with it. I would take a bulb out and take it to Wal-Mart, Lowes etc.. and compare sizes.

Looks like they can be pointed up toward the ceiling but since they are already pretty close to the ceiling they'll likely create a bright spot. We pointed a few across the room at art on walls, that works well, and the others are lighting a sitting area. There may be different patterned or more 'diffuse light' bulbs that fit these lamp holders, you'd have to do some research.

You could replace the lampshade you just have to go to a lamp store and look for the right type of shade because it has to go up and then you screw it so it will stay in place

I have a regular sized light bulb (40 Watt), and it does stick out a little at the end (which is not a big deal for me). A shorter light bulb would fit more completely inside the "bucket" of the paint can.

Well there is plastic tube that looks "porcelain like' that stems up with the bulb socket on the end. You can not see in the picture of the light, but at the end of this tube concealed from view by the shade there is a wrap around sticker that is 1-3/8" wide that tells you all the electrical info such as max wattage bulb etc. So my answer would be yes that would take away from the effect you are trying to achieve.

The shade is not flat. It's like a pyramid with a flat top. There is enough space in the shade for a regular 100 watt bulb.

I had regular bulbs in at first but they stuck out farther than the edge of the glass shade, so we put in the flat small spot light type bulbs and it looks much better

I took out the crappy low quality bulbs it came with (one was already out) and i put HID bulbs in their place, it looks amazing but you can probably use any regular bulb with them

It depends on the shape of the shade. They were too long to fit under my shade with out a little modification to the lamp. But, on the other hand, they put out more light than the three 45 watt bulbs that were in there!

Hello ... I am using a traditional 30/70/100 three way incandescent bulb in both of my lamps (I have two of the same model lamp) ... the top of this style of bulb is about 5 millimeters below the top rim of the lamp shade. The tip of the bulb is not visible even for a fairly tall individual when viewing the lamp from way across the room. The 30/70/100 bulb gives very nice range of lighting options and I actually keep both lamps in the 30 watt settings most of the time.

Yes... mine were wobbly as well. Need to handle with care. In fact, to date I've had to return 1 of 2 bulbs because they were broken. Need to look closely at them. For some reason the packaging doesn't hold up well.

I noticed another brand allowed the bulb to be "re-clocked". I think I see that on mine, but in town I never get to go on high beam. I'll have to re-check the 3 tabs to see if I can rotate them up.

The bulbs inside the lamp are not fixed firmly. They are attached to a spring which is inserted into the actual space in the salt then it expands. One of them had completely come out when I received them. I have bought this kind of lamp before and the chord coming out of the lamp is securely attached to the base which hold the whole thing safely. I think these lamps are not safe
