Recycle Lampshade to Keep your Memories Alive
August 30th, 2010 by notebookDo you have a favourite old lampshade? Many people are nostalgic about old things and lamps are such decoration items one finds difficult to part with. You may often hear complaints that nowadays you can’t find a decent lamp anymore, they are no longer what they were once.

Cool Lampshade with Energy Saving Tips
August 19th, 2010 by notebookA homemade lampshade can help personalize a room, allowing you to keep its color scheme without having to search for a lampshade that matches. Some lampshades tilt to aim the light. Prevent lampshade overheating, scorching and risk of fire by avoiding high wattage bulbs. Incandescent bulbs burn hot, and the higher the watts (75 watts and above) the hotter they get. Contemporary lamps often come with a warning specifying the maximum wattage of light bulb to use in the lamp.
1. Examine the lamp. Find the information about maximum watts. Check below the light bulb and on the lamp’s base or on the cord tag.
2. Check inside the lampshade near the bulb. Cracks and tan or brown marks indicate the bulb is too hot for the shade.
3. Buy compact fluorescent bulbs for the lamp. These burn cooler. The Environmental Protection Agency estimates each Energy Star rated bulb will save you $30 in energy costs. “It uses 75 percent less energy and lasts about 10 times longer than an incandescent bulb,” according to EnergyStar.gov.
4. Replace the lamp’s light bulb with the compact fluorescent light bulb (CFL). Use the incandescent bulb you removed in a closet, basement or bathroom. In these locations the bulb’s warmth helps deter mold.
5. Feel the lampshade after the new light bulb has been on for an hour. The lampshade should stay cool. Consider replacing all the home’s light bulbs with Energy Star approved versions for even more energy savings.
Make a master list of the lamps in the house and their maximum light bulb wattages for future reference. For lamps without a warning label, use compact fluorescent bulbs or 60 watts or lower if you prefer incandescent.
Lava Lamp : Quite Quirky in Appearance
July 26th, 2010 by notebookLava Lamp In principle very simple. It consists of a lamp, which heats up a glass bulb filled with a waxy solid and a liquid. These cannot mix together and must have very similar densities. As the solid heats up, its density is lowered, so it rises. This cools it down and it then falls to the bottom of the lamp, creating a strangely soothing effect. In practice, making one yourself would involve messing about with expensive and perhaps flammable chemicals, so I wouldn’t bother trying. It is much easier just to buy one yourself.

History of The Beginning Beautiful Lampshades
July 19th, 2010 by notebookThe first decorative lampshades appeared in the 1800’s. The Victorian and Edwardian periods provided lampshades that were very romantic.

Luxory And Style Through Vintage Lamp Shade
June 21st, 2010 by notebookIn the Victorian era flowers played an important role in the decorating scheme of things. Therefore, you may be able to see a tulip, daffodil or a buttercup in a Victorian vintage lamp shade. That was not all, it was not just the shades that were adorned with these flower designs, but the very shape of a vintage lamp shade was made, at times, to mirror a particular flower. It is very rarely that one would come across two lamps that look alike. Some of these lamps date back to the 1800’s.
