Hey thanks for the suggestions! I'll run to wally world and pick up some shades and bulbs...any suggestions on the bulbs the one I got has seem to done pretty good so far so I might just get the same one or two. I'll reduce the amount of time it gets light I got a timer its on so that makes it pretty handy. And one more thing...Id like for it not to get any taller but Im affraid to bend it, any suggestions? Thanks again and I'll keep ya posted
