Claim:
A method of converting an indoor suspension lamp to prevent water intrusion into the lamp, comprising the steps of: providing a tubular member having an upper end portion connected fixably to a main body, and a lower end portion; providing a lamp seat mounted on said lower end portion of said tubular member; attaching a light source to the lamp seat; providing a dome shaped upper shade having through-hole for allowing heat dissipation from the light source, the shade having a smaller-diameter upper open end, and a larger diameter lower open end; mounting the upper open end of the upper shade about the upper end portion of the tubular member, so that the upper shade covers the lamp seat, the lamp seat being connected to an electrical light source; providing a lower lamp shade having an upper open end and having a larger diameter lower open end; detachably coupling the upper open end of the lower lamp shade to the larger diameter lower open end of the upper shade, so that the lower open end of the upper shade extends below the lower open end of the upper shade; attaching a dome shaped water resistant cover having a solid contiguous surface over the dome shaped upper shade so that as to form a space therebetween surrounding the shade, and preventing water from directly passing through the heat dissipation through-holes by the dome shaped water resistant cover.
