A lamp shade should preferably be `pointed' upwards. This stands for progress.

Circle lamps are also considered good Qi generators i.e. light is considered generally good in Feng Shui. If one wants to use five light bulbs, it can be circular in shape and can either be made of crystal, glass or plastic. The material is not as important.

This firstly looks like a poison arrow. Secondly, it means `down' or failure.

Warmest Regards,
