Thanks to Dad, who took advantage of Rhode Island Public Television's switch to boring fluorescent light fixtures and snagged three fantastic huge metal lights. An even bigger thanks for the step-down insert he sent with the fixture so that I can plug regular bulbs into it rather than the massive ones it originally used (pictured above). Twenty feet of lamp cord, one two-prong plug, one rocker switch, and a 17"cut length of conduit later, I have direct lighting above my sewing table!
Thanks also to the ceiling stud that miraculously was located right above the center of my desk, so I didn't have to worry about drilling into the sprinkler system.

Mom, you may not leave comments often but when you do they are The BEST.
Yay! I've always said you were a bright girl!
Elisabeth has been insisting we convert to compact fluorescent bulbs. I don't care what the packaging says - they don't put out as much light at the incandescent bulbs. Oh, well, I got myself a little lamp so I can do my cross-stitch without going cross-eyed.
it's just like when we looked up from our spaghetti, and realized we were all wearing the same glasses!
Well, we did it on purpose this time
:-)
How true, how true, Gabriel. Thank you for jerking me back some years! I just love our life and these lights!!! Costanza
