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!
There are two finishes, chrome and satin brass. More details from Practical Props’ website:
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!
Where to buy the new CF-11 Sputnik lights:

Fly Me to the Moon and Let Me Play Among the Sputnik Ceiling Lights! Yes, please, I’d like to win one of those beauties!

These sputnik flush mounts are the best! I’ve got 2 rooms where I’d love to put one. Now that I’ve seen them, I’ll probably HAVE to, they will be stuck in my mind forever!

I only did a one-query search on your site and then the ‘net and found only one article of history/background on Sputnik lights. Can you give a little story or link about how they came about, when-ish ( I know 1957 was when Sputnik was launched but when were the light fixtures launched?), any ads…?
Jay says
Very nice, one of these days I will order a regular one for the dining room. Always interested in their products and I believe in supporting small businesses.
Sally says
So much better than the boob lights in our current house.
Mary Elizabeth says
Lovely! And I was thinking how good the light would be in one of those modest ranches (like mine) with ceilings that are just under 8 feet high. My 6 foot plus brother bumps into any pendant light or fan that is not positioned over a bed or table.

Aha! My husband has broken both globes in the hallway. Maybe these would fit closer to the ceiling and not get broken.
Brooke says
I was thinking of using the 20″ or 24″ sconce as a ceiling light but I wonder if it’s not recommended if they’ve come out with this new light as a specific cieling light. I don’t think this one would be big enough/give off enough light for my whole kitchen. I guess I could contact them and ask if those could be used as ceiling lights.

yes, call them
yes, the wattage needs to be studied depending on what your functional requirement is

Brooke, I purchased 3 of the 20 inch “sconce” sputniks and used them as ceiling fixtures in my kitchen. They look great and give off plenty of light!
Brooke says
Thanks Sherree! I bet the 3 look spectacular 🙂 I only have 1 ceiling light location in the kitchen though, do you think 1 would be bright enough? Could I bother you for a picture? I can leave an email address for you if you don’t have any way to link a photo

Jeneta says

I had seen these and was thinking of putting one above my kitchen sink.
