Update: Contest now closed. Congratulations to our two winners, Patti and Danielle. Thanks, everyone, for playing. ENTRIES NOW CLOSED. Practical Props — rulers of the Sputnik light galaxy — has just launched a new ceiling light version of this iconic lighting style. We asked them if they wanted to participate in a giveaway, and they jumped at the chance. In this giveaway, your chances are doubled — because they are providing two lights. Yup, there will be two winners @ win one light.
How to enter to win a Practical Props Sputnik ceiling light:
- To win, you must be a subscriber to our newsletter (Yes, this is “what’s in it for the blog” — you can opt out at any time after the contest ends, or continue on for the stories and because our goal is to schedule a giveaway every two weeks.)
- To enter, use the Comment field on this post below and tell us where you would use your Sputnik ceiling light. Or whatever, we’re easy.
- One entry per person. U.S. delivery addresses only.
- Entries close on Thursday, Nov. 12, around 5 p.m. Eastern — that is, we will close the Comments field at that time.
- Prize: There will be two winners. Each will receive one CF11 Starlight fixture sent directly from Practical Props. Winners can choose either the chrome or satin brass finish.
- Pam will choose the winners via the Random Number Generator at random.org. In this case, we will spin twice, once for each winner. We will email each person. [Tip: Be sure you enter your email address correctly in the email field of the Comment form.] Each winner will have five business days to respond. If we do not hear from them, we will choose the next person who commented. Lather, rinse, repeat. We will post the winners’ first name as soon as all is confirmed.
- Terms of use apply.
Many thanks, Practical Props!

Wowsie, I have the ugliest bathroom light fixture ever. Wouldn’t this make a fun and unexpected addition to a 1917 house? Houston, we have a problem that only a Sputnik fixture can cure!

In the side door entry way above the original linoleum floor!

Dining room of our ’51 ranch.
Maureen says
I would put it in our basement bar, too. It’s an original from 1940! All we’ve done is replace rotting ceiling tiles. It could use more light for sure.

My living room
Ariane says
I’d use this in my new dining room!
Rich Kimble says
We would put this in our basement family room over the bar with original red/orange linen Formica top. Presently there is a long glass and chrome bathroom ceiling fixture – complete with an outlet, hanging from the ceiling there. We suspect it was originally in the main floor bath of our 1960 ranch. It looks pretty goofy there.
Kate says
I would use the satin brass fixture in our dining room — there was a fixture hole in the ceiling when we moved in and we’ve got an ugly little light in there that’s too dim. The Sputnik would be perfect! And thanks!
Ann Fairfield says
I would love to have one in our new cottage we’re hoping to buy!
