[Entries now closed] Win a sputnik ceiling light from Practical Props

pam kueber - Updated: April 13, 2020

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

sputnik lightUpdate: 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.

sputnik-ceiling-lightHow to enter to win a Practical Props Sputnik ceiling light:

  1. 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.)
  2. 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.
  3. One entry per person. U.S. delivery addresses only.
  4. Entries close on Thursday, Nov. 12, around 5 p.m. Eastern — that is, we will close the Comments field at that time.
  5. 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.
  6. 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.
  7. Terms of use apply.

Many thanks, Practical Props!

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

    I would put it right in the bathroom! We just finished remodeling the master bath in our ’56 ranch and it would go perfectly with the starburst fixtures!

    I would put the silver one in my dining room/living room.

    I would hang it in the kitchen of my 1963 house.

    I use this fun lamp in the study I’m remodeling from its former life as a son’s bedroom. He’s at college, and I need his space! So your spacey lamp would be going into my new space.

    In my hallway to give it some “wow”!

    I would put it in my 1949 Spartan travel trailer

    I would use it in the kitchen! We have the ugliest builder’s grade generic light in there, and it isn’t even very bright. Our kitchen is all shadows at night or on a cloudy day. This light would go well with my vintage canisters and can opener! I hope luck is on my side! Ronda

    I would love to put this beautiful little sputnik light over the stove in 1953 modest ranch home. It would fit beautifully with my 62 year old cabinets.

    I would definitely use this in my kitchen. I need new light fixtures in there but haven’t been able to get it into my budget! I’ve been working for two years on a retro set up through out ky entire house. Love the sputnik asthetic exhibited in this article. Thanks!
