I love this lamp!  I want another!  We get some strong winds on our deck, but with weight of the base, the wind has not affected it. You DO have to remove the bulb when you want it off, but that is no problem at all. You just reach into the middle of the shade, unscrew, and take it out. I also like that it has two brightness levels. I hope it comes back into stock soon so I can purchase a second one for my outdoor deck.
