How much light does this let through? The shades we currently have just don't let enough light pass through. I need it to be brig.ht

the frost on the shade is wonderful, but if you are looking for BRIGHT light, I wouldn't recommend this one.

I feel it lets through a lot of the light. I only have two bulbs in my fan fixture. It's not super bright but it wasn't with my previous shade.

Letting light in. So its fairly dark but not so much that you can't see through it from the outside like the limo tint

We have the shade turned up, but you can do the shade down. I think the shade is screwed in and then the light bulb holds it in place too. I won't swear to that. I love the look of this light, it gives a warm glow and looks beautiful in our hallway.

We live in Houston and there is too much light pollution. We are taking it down to our bay house next week for the Fourth of July and I can give you an answer then.

somewhere around the perimeter on the top. put as close as you can to the edge ,otherwise there will not be enough clearance for the light to fit properly

I've had this hood and light set up for over a year now and the condensation has built up in there and is causing the the light to not easily work well. I have to wiggle the switch to cause the light to come on fully. I would consider the approach posed by Glen A. Marcus when my light finally goes out. If you decide to go with this option than I would suggest checking it on a regular basis to been sure yours doesn't build up condensation. It does help out to remove the plastic piece and wipe it off regularly if you do experience condensation.

I had the same probem. I call amazon and told them that I didn't get the shade. They send me the light bar and shades. And they paid to have the other light bar sent back

People can see through this. It's designed to minimize sun light so it is transparent. I'm sure at night time it helps, but any light will help to see through it.

You could say that. It will allow light through. We have a plastic curtain on the other side as this is a fabric curtain.

I'd go with a much stronger filter. 1.8 maybe. Don't stack you'll just be begging for light scatter shooting in to a light source like that.

By itself this light will probably not provide enough light for your needs (2 of them may do the job). I have found the umbrella on this not to be very effective at dispersing the light, and I am currently planning on replacing it. I would suggest spending a little more for a better lighting setup.

Barely. It's inhibited by a layer of some sort that keeps the light from coming straight through.

I am not sure. I never asked. Perhaps a higher wattage bulb or a globe that is clear would improve the amount of light.

I don't know where you can get new shades, but I would be interested if anyone does. The plastic ones that come with it are very flimsy and don't filter the light very well.

Have you tried looking at night? The light isn't very bright in the sunlight but if it;s working you should be able to see it if you shade it with your hand. If not the bulb may have shook loose in shipping.

We have an LED bulb in it and it does not come to the top of the shade. We have a Cree LED 60 watt and it works wonderful. Go for it, you will be very happy and remember you heard it here first.

Hi! I'm sorry for the delay. The shade I would say bus medium, it looks bigger than it appears in the picture. The color is more Matt, although it shines a little bit. K L. Lynch, you won't be disapointet! The lamp is beautiful! Just make sure the height of your ceiling...
