This has to be about the least expensive lighting option EVER. I had these when I was a kid, and always loved them...Japanese paper lanterns. This one is a 12", and cost--are you ready? 75 cents. Yep. And Amazon offered a deal, this one, a 16" one, and the fixture to go with--the wire and the bulb holder and switch--all three for $5.34.
The light is very soft but fills the whole room, close to that white ceiling. Nice for reading or making art...
J. got the rack up for me, and I finally found my old enamel wash basin, so that corner's pretty well set.
