Back hallway lighting purchase
After hooking up the 50 cent ceramic bulb holder in the back hallway, we soon were inspired to upgrade. A visit to two home centers found the light we were looking for. The Westinghouse Churchville fit our image of 'modern victorian' quite well. The cylindrical brushed nickel shapes on this lamp closely resemble our living room chandelier light, and with two compact fluorescent bulbs, we can double the amount of available light in the back hall, which has always been a little dim for our tastes. The Westinghouse light is a fairly good quality light. The metal parts leave a bit to be desired (especially in the upper end), but the glass shade is very thick and looks like it could take some mild abuse. Durability is fairly important in this area, because nearly everything that comes into or goes out of the house comes through this hallway. Construction lumber, bookcases, mattresses, and other large bulky items all move through here and could easily break a bulb if it's not properly protected. There's no wallboard up yet, but the light still looks pretty nice against bare lath. *shrug*
