Your favorite style light fixtures.

In My Humble Opinion
1

I’ve bought various light fixtures over the years. Some got replaced quickly because I didn’t like it.

Overall, Opal Glass has become my favorite. It does the best job diffusing the light. Very comfortable to read or study by.

I recently installed this wall fixture beside my bed and love it. Very good reading light. I don’t like ceiling lights when Im laying down.

Progress makes good fixtures. A lot of them have ceramic sockets that last forever.

A very broad topic, it’s going to depend a lot on the specific context, but in general terms I prefer a vintage, industrial style. I like when there’s wood involved.

I’ve made my own plug-in wood sconces for the house.

I like old, metal and with glass shades/covers; things that look like (or actually are) converted gas-lights. But that very well could just be me judging from what I see offered for sale.

Yes, there’s many things that make a great light fixture.

The material, style, design etc.

I like simple design and a bit retro. Never liked chrome or anything too modern.

It’s getting harder to find well made fixtures. A lot of people buy cheap and replace regularly. It’s part of changing the rooms design.

I really like this copper wall lantern. But, $300 is way more than I can justify spending.
