The diffuser sits half way in the shade so that the bulbs show through the top when the pendant is hanging. Any suggestions?

You must have the shade installed wrong somehow. The diffuser should not sit halfway into the shade and the bulbs should not show. Flip the shade over and try installing that way.

I had the same idea. I did get it to hang down a little further than this picture shows. But it is still just a slight bit tipped. The little piece at the top that angles downward and the lamp hangs from swivels too, so you can help adjust the angle that way.

it's a little black knob under the shade, up near the bulb. It may have come out during shipping. Check the box for a black knob in that case, and just reattach it.

Sorry, I answered yes last time but I was thinking you meant turning the shade around so the bulb is open. Can't turn so it shines straight up.

There is a threaded attachment for the light fixture inside the shade about 1/3 the way in.

I have not encountered that problem yet. The shades have been up for just a few weeks with minimal use. However, if that did happen, I would try one of two remedies. If the bottom rod is hollow, I would run a cord through it with connectors at each end. It the rod is solid, I would screw an eye into each end.

We put large globe shaped 110W bulbs in them because we liked the look. They could take LEDs or compact fluorescent, but the bulb might be way up in the neck. If i were using a small bulb i would probably use an extension to get it down to the edge of the shade. They are nice shades.

The metal pendant comes apart. Unscrew the bottom potion which includes the little window that the bulb shines through. The base will be exposed once the bottom section is off and the two prongs from the bulb should insert and connect. Handle the bulb using a cloth, tissue, paper towel. Touching the halogen bulb with your hands shortens the bulb life, sometimes dramatically. Any oil from your fingers will overheat the bulb. Good luck.

It doesn't fit directly on the bulb. If you google "parts of a lampshade", you'll see a what is called a harp............three spokes that meet in the middle and are secured to the "harp".I LOVE this shade - I'm not sure that it is the shade for a chandelier? Good luck! Betty

There is a plexiglass type bottom panel to help diffuse the light. It is cloudy/ opaque so you can't see the actual bulbs.

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.

It is over our kitchen table and looks great...BUT...even with a dimmer switch attached we find it too glary. I've been trying to find some sort of shield or baffle to block the direct light but haven't had any luck online. All the ones I've found are for light bulbs that face up or down, while these are horizontal.

You can not see bulbs out of top. They (the glass shade) are a little over 5 inches tall. I had to reach up and over but that's about the height. We love this fixture.

Lots of big box stores carry shades that clip over a classic incandescent bulb shape. The one I have looks like a small clear tiffany lamp shade.

use a candelabra bulb, the picture makes it look like it has a shade over it but it doesnt. i hung it in my bedroom over my bed just for soft lighting.

You could use a light bulb, but it would have to be real small not much room between lamp shade

The diffuser is frosted white but I don't know if they can use flourescent bulbs, I do not see why not? Try contacting the seller!
