Light diverter for bulb holder
I noticed the threads on the light bulb holder. https://imgur.com/a/WPwMtwe Can something be bought that will make the light shine downward? As it is now, the light is too bright and wasted when it goes in every direction. |

You might find one that will screw on, but it might be about the same cost and easier to just find a new fixture. |

You need a shade with what is called a "Threaded-UNO fitter" Like this one: https://www.lampsusa.com/products/ho...SABEgKJDfD_BwE |

Thanks for finding the name of what fits the threaded part. :-) But at $29, as trader_4 said, it would be cheaper to get another light fixture. Andy |

Rather than "Handcrafted by experienced designers", I'd rather have one machine-made by inexperienced designers. Might be cheaper. these have been rare my whole life, but they must be very rare to charge so much. And they're just lamp shades. Nothing about them specifically makes the light shine downward. maybe the OP could make a collar out of sheet metal, like dogs have to wear sometimes. Andy |

I am trying to use up my cfls. I hate the yellowish light and how hot they get. Most of my bulbs are the daylight leds.

When I changed to Philips Hue led bulbs, the starter kid was very yellow and I didnt like that much. The rest I bought were what they call white ambience which can be set to any white color you like. I still have the original yellow ones in the bedroom and the room I store the beer I brew in and dont even notice the yellow anymore. |
