I have a couple of marble table lamps which need to be rewired. Any recommendations on where to go?

Starting a renovation and need to find a new home for these light fixtures and ceiling fans. Best offer/ cash only. Happy to email pics (they wouldn’t upload). I have:
foyer fixture, 3 dark ceiling fans with lights, 1 white ceiling fan with light, 1 glass sconce, 1 glass chandelier, one “schoolhouse” light, a couple of other ceiling lights. Please contact me if interested. Thanks.

We are seriously considering installing solar tubing to light a kitchen in the back part of our condo. Its dimensions are about 10×17 feet so about 170 square feet. Before going ahead we would like to see some real life examples(s) of the use of solar tubing to light a space. Does anyone know of an installation that we can view? We would appreciate any information that can be supplied to meet our need to see an installation before we proceed. Thanks.

I’m trying to find any info on this light that I can. It could possible end up on The Antique Road Show, and I’d like to have a little knowledge about it.

Hi brownstoners,

My husband and I found a wonderful light fixture at one of the antique shops on Bedford for dirt cheap but it is brass and we would like it to be chrome. Is it possible to have the fixture re-plated or refinished so it is chrome? The fittings are unique so we cannot replace them. Does anyone have a recommendation and an idea of cost?

Thanks guys.

Any idea what this rather odd light fixture might have been for? I believe it is a converted gas lamp. But it looks too crude to be residential.

A ceiling light in my living-room, about ten years old, apparently just died. Naturally, I assumed it was the bulb, and tried new ones, to no effect.

Have you ever known a light fixture to simply stop working like that? It’s never happened to me, and I’m debating whether to call an electrian (in which case recommendations are welcome, since mine has disappeared), or whether it’s not worth it.

As it happens, it’s a great pendant light that I’ve loved, because you can pull it down (nice with high ceilings), so I know I’m unlikely to find something affordable that I like as well.
