Wasn't sure if I really wanted to keep the 2 I ordered as smaller than expected. That is why I gave it a 3 star rating. So, really my fault and I should add another star! However found the perfect use for them. I did not use lampshades, but used them inside a cabinet  and they light up a whole collection that I have. I made an opening at back of cabinet so that I could thread both cords through and have one on top shelf (to the right) and the other to bottom left.. When I tap them they light up the whole cabinet and look amazing.
