We have a nice post lamp, and we live in between street lamps. So I like the light on but it shined a bit into the front guest bedroom. I cut a small piece of light aluminum (about 6" high and 6" wide). Bent it so there was a lip on the bottom, drilled 2 holes in it and the base of the lamp - and mounted it inside the lamp to shield the light rays from shining into the window - but still on the rest of the house and of course the front. Did the trick and a couple neighbors asked for me to make one for them.
Our lamp has 3 candelabra bulbs - at 40w each. Been here 2 years and went thru 2 sets. Got a set of 4 LEDs (installed 3 and have 1 extra) in the lamp - these have vertical "filaments" that appear just like an expensive incand bulb and amberlike. Will last many years and now 12W total for 3.
on ebay - 4 bulbs for $19:
Mooncolour 4W LED Filament Candelabra Bulb,40-watt Equivalent,Warm White 2700K,Use in Chandeliers,Wall Sconces,and Pendant Lighting,4 Pack
