A clear prismatic globe, when used with a light fixture, impacts the light in several ways:

1. Diffusion: The prismatic texture helps to diffuse the light. This means that rather than having a bright, focused beam of light from the bulb, the light is spread out more evenly. This can help reduce harsh shadows and glare, providing a softer and more uniform light distribution.

2. Light Direction: Prismatic globes can slightly alter the direction of the light. The angles of the prisms can redirect the light, often leading to a wider spread. This can be particularly useful in spaces where broad lighting coverage is desired.

3. Aesthetic Effect: Clear prismatic globes can add an aesthetic element to the lighting. The prisms can create interesting light patterns and reflections, adding a decorative touch to the space.

4. Intensity and Color: While clear prismatic globes generally do not significantly change the intensity or color of the light, the diffusion effect might make the light appear less intense. Also, if the globe is not perfectly clear or has a color tint, it could slightly alter the color perception of the light.

5. Protection: Besides altering light distribution, these globes also protect the light bulb from dust, debris, and in some cases, impact. This can be beneficial in prolonging the life of the bulb.

Remember, the specific effect can vary depending on the design of the globe and the type of light source used. It's always good to consider the specific needs of your space when selecting outdoor post top globe lighting.
