can this light be used without the frosted globe

Yes. I put in an adapter to take it from a candelabra base bulb (which it requires) to a standard base and used a 60 watt Edison style bulb.

Yep... Might want to touch up some of the exposed parts to match the rest, but it would look mega gangster with one of the old fashioned bulbs

If you need a light strip for outdoor, there is the same light strip with a silicone sleeve over it. If you use the light for indoor use the strip without the sleeve would be fine.

I use a 23 watt CFL in my fixture with no problem. The limitation of the fixture is wattage so CFL and LED lights are ok if they will fit inside the globe.

Yes, it is easy. There is a knurled nut where the cord enters the globe fixture at the top. You loosen this nut and slip the nut along with the top plate up the cord. At this point, the globe is hanging on another metal plate that is inside the globe. The globe can then be tilted and slipped off the inner plate leaving the bulb exposed and easy to change. Reassembly simply reverses this process. So, the whole process is simple, BUT you need to careful that you don't drop the globe.

I second this question...But I want to temporarily stick it in the fridge to save $100 on replacing that light.Batteries do tend to die quicker in the cold though.

I put a high output LED that draws very little for more light, if globe is frosted replace or polish of the frost if possible

It has been working great in rain, sleet, snow and ice thus far. The light itself has a button on the center if the globe to torn it off and on so make certain you hang it within reach.

You need to look for one that says specifically "for recessed light." This globe is ok, but the trim kit up top will not work without a recessed light kit.

I believe I tried (I am out of town and cannot verify) and could not fit the glass globe over the led bulb. This being said, I love the style and look of the fixture!

I do not think so. Overall the light is cooler than I thought it would be. I like it a lot though

There is a small inner nylon rectangular cloth that is attached by Velcro, so yes, if you don't want to use it, it can be removed. If you don't want the outside white front but want the black sides (lined with "foil" on the inside) you can do that too. I think the biggest surprise was the type of light bulb it came with, the squiggly fluorescent looking ones, but they are as bright as they say they are and I have no complaints.

I have accidentally left it on over night and there was no problem with overheating, when I noticed it the next afternoon. The globe is very thin and fragile and will break in to many small sharp pieces if struck, so I don't think it is appropriate as a night light for a child.

The surface of the bulb (through which the light is emitted) is frosted or opaque, not clear.

Probably. There is a metal piece you screw on each light outlet after putting the globe on. 4 of 5 of them were well fitted however one did not tighten well but would probably hold or you could use electrical tape to make it tighter. Also if you use energy saving lights you have to get the compact ones. Even then the globe is barely tall enough to cover it. If mounting facing down you will see the light bulb.

Yes. However, the bulb shown above here is an incandescent bulb. I'd suggest switching to an LED bulb as it will last maybe 100x longer and use 1/10 the energy. Look for a style with an LED mounted up in the globe and that operates with 7-10 Lumens of warm white light. There are also some with frosted globes which might look even more like a warm incandescent bulb. LED's are initially much more expensive but will be far less over time both in life span and energy use.

No. It doesn't use an incandescent globe but rather uses a 3.4 watt LED light engine. Plus the mirror is factory sealed and disassembly would probably destroy it.

You can if you like, but it's not necessary. I left my lights outside all winter (in Detroit, MI): the coldest and snowiest on record for the past 120 years! They worked beautifully all winter long (except perhaps when they were covered with snow.) They still worked like brand new as soon as the snow melted and they could recharge in the sun again! If anything, the "glass" is a smidge cloudier than when they were brand new straight out of the box (and after a whole year of use), but they still look good and give off good light. Best solar fixtures I've ever purchased. I'm very happy with them.
