WELL MADE STRONG SCONCES W/ HEAVIER WIRE.ALL ALLIGN .THEY USE THE LARGE SCREW ON COLLARS THAT HOLD THE GLASS FIRMLY TO THE CERAMIC SOCKETS WHICH ARE BETTER THAN THE PLASTIC ONES.THEY USE THE HOME BULBS FOR LAMPS-YOU BUY THE 3 INCH ROUND COMMON BULBS THAT ARE MADE TO LIE LOW.I MADE RUBBER INSERTS THAT GO OVER THE sockets after the shade , then the collar.these tend to be hard to unthread, once screwed down.they all do this.the rubber cushion will make it easy to turn off. its the problem of collars jamming against part of the glass shades which are uneven .common problem.plus now you don't have to tighten down hard with the rubber inserts.i use them in all these type sockets.the glass needs only partial tightening until they are held still.  399.00. 45.00 shipping,discounted.LRG BOX.you will get a partial refund if lower- if you're close to me in ny. 4 of these are heavy.we all know about shipping prices.-----part of all sales go to doctor's without borders,smiletrain,and to thailand's trafficked girls rescued into this world known campus.u.n. guards it with soldiers.chaing-mai.thailand.and to a place overseas for job training-36 years and going.
