Sputnik ceiling lights — new from Practical Props

pam kueber - Updated: November 9, 2020

Retro Renovation stopped publishing in 2021; these stories remain for historical information, as potential continued resources, and for archival purposes.

Do you love sputnik lights but don’t have the room for the classic, a big pendant chandelier? Good news: Practical Props has just introduced a Sputnik ceiling light — they call it the “Starlight” — and it drops just 4″ from the ceiling. I could definitely see this wee sputnik fitting nicely in hallways, mudrooms, small bathrooms — even small bedrooms. And, the price is terrific — just $79, including the bulbs.

And howdy hudee: Come back tomorrow, because Practical Props will be hosting a giveaway!

The CF-11 Sputnik is designed to be used as a wall sconce or a ceiling fixture.
Perfect for hallways, bathrooms or any small area.
This light comes with your choice of 10, 15 or 20 watt clear or white round bulbs.
Add $10 for 7 watt Starlight bulbs.

Like Practical Props’ other lighting, these lights are made by them in their California studios.

Don’t forget, we also are googly-eyed over Practical Props’ growing selection of Sputnik lights — surely the largest variety in the galaxy!

    I could see this over my stove to make things brighter.

    We purchased a satin brass baby sputnik from Practical Props two years ago for our small entry and love it! It worked great for our low clearance space. Zero complaints, great price and they were nice to deal with.

    There are a few photos of it at the end of this post: http://suburbanpop.com/2015/09/10/hallways-and-maple-bellawood-floors/

    Though it is a very nice light fixture I have no place for that fixture in my house at this time , so If I won it I would donate to the local animal shelter so puppies (not the cats) would enjoy it.

    Hmm, I was just considering replacing the lighting in my basement minibar, or at least the light over the cooktop. Bit of a step up from what I had been considering, but I may have to do some measuring.
