lamp shades are soooo 70's get one of these and drill an appropriate sizes hole in the bottom.

Bonkers.

Search google for ''blue frosted glass lamp/lampshade'' under shopping and if you get no suitable search returns, then you may get a blue candle or summit.

Thanks mate

you could use it as a ceiling light in australia, coz. it'd still be the right way up.

table lamps are like turf. green side up, or in this case , blue.

Nah, turf is more aesthetically pleasing than this lamp! Probably emits more light too!

I would like to do that because I did not find a nice ceiling lamp for my bedroom, similar to the bedside table lamp, that's why I thought to convert a table lamp to ceiling one, to have them similar.

By the way, this is the table lamp I would like to put on the ceiling GAVIK Table lamp - blue/frosted glass - IKEA , of course without the top cover, just the body.

Stop being so bloody tight and buy a new table lamp then aswell if you can't find anything that matches. I thought i was tight with my money.

Come on mate, that idea is ridiculous. There are specialist lighting wholesalers around you know aswell as the regular diy and wholsaler shops - i cannot believe you can't find a ceiling light suitable anywhere.

Forget the idea of hanging a table lamp upside down...im actually laughing typing that, i can't believe what i've just read. Sorry to be blunt/harsh/a tad nasty OP but its a stupid idea and i can't believe ive read that. (although its EF so maybe i can)

I don't see what the problem is. Ages ago the bulb in my front room went and I didn't have another, so I converted it to an uplight. Works perfectly well. (see note underneath)

(Note: seriously, do not try to convert a table lamp to a pendant light, it is a recipe for disaster for the reasons other posters have said. DO NOT try it!)

His house burns down can you imagine the looks from the insurance company when they find out it was caused by a table lamp being used a ceiling fitting,

Sorry but your insurance is null and void due to you doing that

 

[Stroppy]

They would laugh in his face and tear up and eat his policy. This is the maddest idea I've heard in a long time.

Yes you can do it if you have some good skills or have skilled person. but do not it at your own if you do not know what to do and how to do.

 

[telectrix]

i could make a matching fitting from a pint beer glass and a fruit bowl.
