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.

I would love to put this sputnik light in the entryway to my 1955 ranch. It would look fabulous!
Jean says
This would look great in my entry with my original 1955 blue and green floor tile.
Cha Cha says
This would look fab in my hallway.
Stacy Tebbetts says
I have the perfect spot in my hallway that could use this gorgeous light!
Craig says
I love a Sputnik light! I think one of these would look divine in our spare bedroom. Kudos to Practical Props for a great price point also!
Kathy in San Leandro says
My daughter would love this in her room!
And I had a lovely cat named Sputnik. The word means “traveling companion,” and he was my companion on travels through life. (It was also translated as “fellow traveler,” which is a reminder of a not-so-pleasant aspect of the 1950s….)

Can’r wait to place a Sputnik light over the pingpong table!
Kelly Gamble says
Yes! This ceiling fixture would look great in my kitchen; I recently bought a 1966 house in a funky Tiki neighborhood. The kitchen ceiling fixture is boring and not fitting to the house, but needs to be a low profile. This would be perfect!
Beth says
I’d put it over the seating area in our basement Retro Lounge!
Shelly says
I’m at a loss as to where I would put this wonderful light because I would like it in every room!
