The lamps (if they're the ones I'm thinking of, the ones I use) are Jansjos, available at Ikea for $10. They're a loss-leader for them. You can...
Top Pop. :D A little bit of diffusion (very little in your case) would help. A slip of near-transparent tracing paper or something similar over...
If a previous owner felt the need to darken it - looks like a graduate of the Deller's School to me :) - you might want to consider if it's...
