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.

Holy cow! I’d use it in my attic when I finish it – in my sewing nook. Definitely inspiring.
Brian Hahn says
I would use it in my retro trailer when I get it. I don’t have it yet, but it’s going to be the “canned ham” style of travel trailers which I will tow with a 50’s-60’s car I also have yet to acquire (hopefully a ’55 Chevy Impala or a ’61 Plymouth Valiant).
Karen says
I would use it somewhere in my 1956 house!!
Virginia Carpenter says
I love the 50s style and intermingle it with decor in my home. I would use this light in my upstairs hallway to mark my retro style.
Roaxana says
This would replace my lame broken Ikea light fixture in my kitchen.
Nico says
This would easily solve the problem of not knowing what to put over our kitchen table.
Nancy says
My son is drooling over these lights! He would put it in his room.
Richard Dietzel says
In my dining room.
Fabiola Garcia says
This will be a great fixture for my dinning/living room. Thanks Pam

Above our MCM built-in wet bar of course.
