All authorities would permit twisting the shade on Shabbos. It is similar to opening or closing a closet door in which there is a light burning on Shabbos. This is even the case where the shade forms part of the lamp. R. Neuwirth writes explicitly in Shemiras Shabbos: A shade which is made to direct the light or to cover it up altogether may be adjusted on Shabbath, even if it is made in such a way that it forms part of the lamp.

Shemirath Shabbath Kehilchathah 13:41b Rabbi Yehoshua Y. Neuwirth 
In the case of KosherLamp™, the shade is NOT part of the lamp, it is a separate piece entirely.

While twisting the upper shade to control the light is permitted by all authorities, many poskim hold that the lamp itself (outer shade and base) is considered muktza. In the same way that a candlestick would be considered muktzah. However a lit candle may not be moved at all while it is lit because this may cause the flame to burn brighter or go out. With the electric lamp there is no question about the bulb burning brighter or going out, so it may be moved, however this must be done with a shinui. Therefore if you need its place or need to move it to change the direction of the light, this must be done with a shinui (not the regular way) such as pushing it with one’s elbow. This is the strict opinion as expressed in Rav Miller’s psak above. There are more lenient opinions. Please consult your local Orthodox rabbi for further direction.

The KosherLamp™ brand shabbos lamp is made to accept either an LED 9 watts or less or a compact flourescent bulb (CFL) 15 watts or less.

A portable electric lamp… may be moved on Yom Tov, even while it is on, either for the purpose of using it or because one needs the space which it occupies, provided one is careful not to disconnect it from the electricity supply.
(Shemirath Shabbath Kehilchathah 13:4)

Rabbi Reuven Spolter of the Young Israel of Oak Park in Oak Park, Michigan gave the shiur concerning the Halachos of The KosherLamp™ brand shabbos lamp in response to congregants’ questions. (They followed our advice and consulted their local orthodox rabbi!) In his lively shiur he goes through in detail the laws of muktza pertaining to The KosherLamp™ brand shabbos lamp and explains the lenient opinion which says you can even move the base of The KosherLamp™ brand shabbos lamp on Shabbos.
