Purchased two of these to use in our master bath.  I’m planning to install them with the shade opening facing down as I like that look and feel like they will be easier to keep clean.  The downside of clear glass shades is that the light bulb is very visible.  I had hoped to use LED lights but since I don’t care for Edison bulbs and don’t like the yellow filament or white band typically present in LED bulbs, we are going with incandescent bulbs.  May change my mind latter depending on how difficult it is to change the bulbs.
