     If the lampshade has thickness, I'd give it SSS and a little translucence.  For the bulb,  I use both a point light and an IDL emitter, with one mesh as the visible prop, another mesh -slightly larger- as an unseen IDL emitter with an ambient of maybe 70, and a third considerably larger mesh as the faintly visible glow aura.

     For the lampshade, I might add lightshaft meshes and a rounded-off aura mesh.
