Vintage Colored Glass Ceiling Light

What makes this one work is the small glass globe shade, where the colored glass turns a plain ceiling fixture into a quiet bit of color overhead without taking up much room. It throws a soft, warm pool of light that suits tight spots like a hallway or a spot above a bedside, since the compact globe does not crowd a low ceiling the way a big shade would. Pick a clear white or milk white shade when you want the light to stay neutral and bright, or the amber, yellow, green, or dark brown glass when you want the bulb to read as a warm color accent in the room. It is an easy way to add a little character to a kitchen, bedroom, or entry without paying boutique lighting prices for the look.
