Mid-century lighting continues to go very much mainstream — evidenced by the continuing proliferation of lower cost designs more affordable for the masses. Hey! Just like in the 1950s! Flickr friend xtombx spotted the Nadair Nuevo pendant lights (shown above) for sale at his Menard’s store. The one on on the left is 14″ wide, the center is 7″ wide, and the right is 8″ wide. Each one is just $30. At the left is a more expensive glass pendant by Checkolite. It’s about $60, and there are two other glass designs. All of these lights also are featured online, with free shipping — go to Menard’s site here and search the brands I’ve listed. Note: I have not seen these in person, so cannot give an opinion on the visible quality of workmanship.
Update: Not sure if these lights are still available — original story was in 2010 — but I’ll keep this up for the record and to remind to check Menard’s out!

Hi — I have four of these that I bought for a 60s renovation that I am not going to be able to use. 3 dark, 1 silver tone, all of the tall this style ( the middle image). Is anyone interested? New, have been in storage, Have never been out of the box. I’m able to ship. Thanks! Lklingner@gmail.com

Hello Leslie…..
Just thought i’d take a ridiculous shot, and see if you still had those pendant lights.

For what its worth Menards are now selling these lights off the clearance rack for $19.99! I just bought the last 2 from a store in Ohio and had them shipped to Florida (My home). There are still a few stores that have 1 or 2 in stock but I’m sure they won’t last long.

Hi: I could never land these very hip hanging lamps. However, I fell upon these purely by accident! Pretty hip and reasonable!:http://www.aliexpress.com/item/High-quality-art-hanging-pendant-light-led-7w-9w-12w-15w-18w/1219348926.html
