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.

- 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.

Sherri Stroebel says
This would look awesome as the replacement for the cheap “boob” light that was put in my laundry room by the previous owner!
Birgitte says
We really need a light in our living room. At the moment, we are making do with a candle, while scouring Craigslist for period appropriate lights.
tailfin says
These light look really awesome! I love their compact design. When I win, I will probably use the light in either my hallway or bathroom, both which need some mid-century detailing to help them “Pop”.

This fixture would look smashing above our eat-in kitchen Danish dining table.

Hi Retro Renovation! I am thrilled to sign up for the newsletter and to enter the Sputnik light contest!
My husband and I just purchased a 1958 split level in upstate NY and I am having a ball decorating in an authentic way. Much of our decor comes directly from my parents’ home, so everything has special meaning. A Sputnik ceiling fixture would look so very lovely in our front entranceway, which is spacious with low ceilings.
You site has already bee helpful in my effort to stay authentic. I look forward to your newsletter. Thank you very much.

The silver light would be the perfect addition to our turquoise and silver 50’s style kitchen. I would be absolutely delighted to win!
Dee says
Love to use the light in my hallway.
Adrianne Braun says
I am an email subscriber and would just love to win the fixture! It would look great in our dining room, which doesn’t really have a high enough ceiling for a large light piece. Cool giveaway!
