You can use a shade 3 if you're only working clear, but most folks like to spruce things up a bit.
Something I can recommend that I did...Say you have a light that's only rated for 60 watt bulbs. Not really bright enough for shade 5 lenses.
However a 100 w equivalent CFL is only around 24 watts. So you can use one of those in your 60 watt fixture but still get the brightness.
I also use a single unit halogen work light I got cheap from home depot.
