Bungalow I'm moving into has a light like this in the ceiling. It kind of doesn't really brighten up the room at night What is the best solution that doesn't require completely removing (might consider as last choice though)Is it just a matter of getting a brighter bulb or removing the shade? Would a seperate standing lamp be enough to illuminate the room?
>>2890262Try bigger bulbs. It can definitely take far more than whatever is in it, since lamps were usually designed for incandescent bulbs and now LED bulbs consume way less power. Rewiring a new lamp is piss easy though. Stock some passthrough WAGO connectors.
>>2890262find a frosted dome about the same diameter as the existing shade. Suspend it just under the shade. This will scatter light all around the room rather than in a spot under the light.
>>2890262Just get a brighter bulb. The shade definitely won't help unless you have a high ceiling.
>>2890262cheap and effective
>>2890262Bulb extender. Screw into socket. Screw bulb into extender. Bulb now reaches below lampshade and lights up room.
