Alight man I'll take that into consideration...Im gonna make a trip to walmart and pick up another shade and bulb...any suggestions on the bulb. The one I have now seems to be doing fine, maybe two more of those. Also I want to keep it short but Im affraid to bend it, I dont want to snap the thing. If I lowerd the light would that help? thanks for the suggestions it will help to get a brotha high when this thing is done
