Lamps should be done in a translucent glass just because of this problem.
Having said that however, the deed is done and I think you might try a florescent light bulb substitute. It is more expensive, but lasts longer and is softer in its glow. Images By Albury Carl |

you can always make a 'box' to surround the bulb out of frosted or heavily
textured glass. then of course you need to rig it to stay in place and still allow access to change the bulb.m |

Or if you want to keep it that transparent, use a low wattage bulb. |
