Bell pendants are no good really. I was going to go with one of those and I am glad I didn't. You wont get much coverage with a bell pendant. You want the bulb horizontal with a reflector. Edit.. err , that sounds a little rude lol... to rephrase... a bell pendant will obviously work, but ideally you want the bulb horizontally with a relflector for best output and light coverage... my bad.

To answer your question though.. using a bell pendant especially.. the center brace will give a shadow most likely. I am not sure if you can remove it though or change it.
