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!
And congrats to Mary, winner of our last giveaway, the 50th anniversary Lava Lamp.

Tracy says
I’d use the brass version in my bedroom to replace a white shabby-chic lighting fixture.
Bella says
Love this. It will look great in my foyer, which right now has recessed light.
vicki says
I’d use it in the kitchen to shed some light on my vintage cabinets.
Laura says
The better question would be, “Where WOULDN’T I put this?” The answer would be easier….but most likely, the office. Pick me!
Brigid moore says
I’d use mine in my 1965 ranch scheduled to close escrow in December
Valerie B says
This would be perfect in my foyer.
Jessica Hawkins says
The bathroom, maybe the bedroom and then I can convince my husband I do really need a round bed the spins.
Noelle says
I would most likely use it in an entryway.
Sharon Haas says
Depending on which one I won I would put it in my computer room or my hallway – either place would be perfect for one!
Penne says
If I won one of these I would buy another and install both of them in the hall of my “new” 1965 home–closing next week!
