Are the shades plastic? I have had two lamps like this where the plastic shades became brittle and cracked after being heated by the bulbs.

The shades are plastic, but a couple of years with compact fluorescent bulbs, and they're doing just fine. Can't answer for incandescent bulbs, though.All in all, it's worth the price :)

Yes, they are. That's why I'd really recommend LED bulbs for this fixture. I was also worried about the heat at first but then, my LED bulbs have been working great. Haven't experienced bad yet.

yes they are plastic and don't screw in very well for my needs this doesn't bother me, but may be bothersome to others.

Yes they are. Just make sure that they don't lean on the bulb because it'll melt the shade. Still love it. :)

Hmm...I dont know. My bottom is plastic but looks great. I dont know where any glass is other than the bulbs. I do love this light all said and done.

One last point. When you handle the lamp do not touch the bulb itself. The oil from your fingers can cause an uneven heat distribution on the glass which has been known to break the glass at temperature. Suggest you use surgical gloves.

hello, my shades are brown and they are just as described. They are very nice lamps

Uncertain... Heat lamps put out quite a bit of heat...which is usually not very compatable with plastic.Sorry! Hope that helps a little!Suzy Q

It is a silicone coating to hold the bulb together if it shatters. Great bulbs - mimics full-spectrum incandescents. Very "warm" light.

I would say "no." They are a bulb-iin-socket type of lamp and rely on a clean, unexposed connection. They aren't terribly rugged, their advantage over standard incandescents is the lack of fragile filaments, but they still have tiny wires that connect all of the led chips together. Keep them clean and dry!

They are a white plastic. When they are installed they appear to be opaque. We are well pleased. We repaired 2 iron floor lamps. They look like candles.

The manufacturer has told me that this lamp has a 2 prong unit, and that the material surrounding the bulb is metal, however there is a plastic lens cover. If you have any additional questions feel free to contact me at any time. Thanks!Chris

Hi, The beautiful Dragonfly lamp works with 2 bulbs x 60 watts. Certainly the lamp is made in real glass, we do not sell plastic. Thank you

They are plastic like the original equipment. I have never seen modular lamps made of glass.

Not sure why the material says it is plastic . It appears to be more ceramic base than plastic. It is a solid lamp.

After looking closely at the lamp, the floral body is like a resin plastic. It does not look like plastic and I had no idea it was. I've had the lamps since October in my master bedroom. They are beautiful and they look great.

Yes, the shades do get pretty warm. We plan to put LEDs in ours when these old bulbs burn out.

Mine has lasted 2 years now. When you installed it you did not touch the lamp at all with your fingers and transfer anything to the lamp face? That maybe could create a hot spot and it burned out? Sometimes there is just a defect. When I first installed it I must have jarred the optical block so I had a rose tint across the top of the screen about 3 inches down. After a while you learn to ignore it, but I noticed recently that the line is gone. I moved the set a bit recently to get at a side connector and I am wondering whether that jarred something back in place. Now I won't move the set at all until the bulb dies again or something else goes south.

No, beacause the heat of the lamp will burn the plastic, exept if the light is led type.

Not as they are manufactured. You'll probably have to shave down the plastic tabs on the lamp housing.
