David Weeks' ceramic candle holder tea light set (also known as Ulterior Votives) are delightful accessories. There are three different settings: the standard camping campfire, a chiminea, and a barrel. Each candle holder includes an LED light with prices ranging from $16 to $21.

Nothing more encouraging when reading a book than having a reading book companion. The purple shade is made up of semi translucent polypropylene while the body of the little man is made up of a translucent lamp holder with polished zinc-plated arms and legs. The head is a chrome top 40 watt bulb (included - yay).

The Little Man book reading light retails for 28 British Pounds (or about $44 USD). You are gonna need to shell out a bit more money for international shipping since this is a UK item. Get it from Where Did You Buy That

This nine inch in diameter pendant light from Perch! screams chic. It is ideal for a kids room (kids can be chic too), because of the turquoise dots that adorn the shiny white ceramic.

The pendant light comes with a 15 inch cord and uses a candelabra bulb of 25-60 watts.

The Schoolhouse Electric Co's Metropolitan wall scone fixture reminds us of the electric wall fixtures inside the Empire State Building -- you know that look, 50s art-deco. Not surprising since the company owner Brian Faherty got his inspiration from cast-iron molds he found in an upstate New York warehouse. Though the Metropolitan wall scone from Schoolhouse Electric has a nostalgic feel, it somehow manages to look ultra-modern as well. When used in the right setting, this light fixture will give your room, here comes the buzzword, personality.

The Metropolitan wall fixture is available in polished aluminum and is only rated for damp locations. The opal glass shade is included. The dimensions are: L=9.75" W=4.125" D=4" with a max wattage of 100. Retail price is $259 USD.

The ThinkGeek LED Faucet Lights turn your ordinary faucet into an illuminating experience and in true Geek fashion, turns something as normal as a faucet, into a sci-fi gadget. There are two versions available of their faucet LED light. The first is a blue color LED that illuminates when you let your water run. The second, and by far our favorite, is the red/blue LED combination light.

Why is it our favorite? Simple, when you turn on your water faucet the blue light shines. However, as soon as the water temperature goes past a warm 89 degrees, it activates the red LED giving out a red-hot glow. Come on, even you can admit that's pretty sweet.

The faucet LED lights come as a package: you get the chamber with the LED lights, 2 universal adapters that fit most USA faucets, as well as two sets of G13-A style watch batteries.

The blue package will run you a cool $12.99, while the red/light package will cost you a modest $19.99. In our opinion, the extra $7.00 make the jump to the combo worth every intergalactic penny.

I like to be honest, so I'll go right out and say it. I don't like to deal with electricity around the house. I'm afraid that even if I shut off the power to my entire house, I will still get shocked and die. What ends up happening is I either need to call my father for assistance or call in a service professional. So, forgive me if I seem a bit excited when I found instant pendant lights.

If you happen to have recessed lighting in your house, the instant pendant lights require no tools (aside from your hands) and most important of all, for me at least, no dealing with electrical wires that could potentially kill me. The instant pendant light from Worth Home Products work just like changing a light bulb. You unscrew the existing light bulb in your recesses light, screw on the instant pendant light, wrap the wire around a spindle bracket (this allows you to set how far from the ceiling you want the light to go), you tighten a compression nut, and put in the lamp shade. Done!

Best of all, prices for the instant pendant lights start at around $50, so they are plenty affordable.

A word of warning: I should say that if you do not know how to change a light bulb, do not attempt to do this without professional help. And be sure to read the directions fully as you do not want to end up dead.

Gunnel Svensson's company Bsweden is known for elegant, modern Nordic style lamps. One of the most affordable of the lamps provided by Bsweden is Ghost, a pendant light made with white opal glass supported by a 157 inch long black flex. The black flex can be trimmed to accommodate almost all types of ceiling heights.

Ghost is available in three different sizes: small (9.84 in), medium (16.93 in), and large (29.13 in) so they can be used in different ways. If you have an apartment with a small kitchen the smaller pendant might be more useful. If you own a single-family home, the medium would serve you best. If you own a restaurant with contemporary-modern decor, the large Ghost pendant light would look perfect in a large bar.

There is one more difference between each lamp aside from their height. The large Ghost pendant light has a ceiling rose in stainless steel while both the small and medium size have a black ceiling rose.

You can purchase your own Ghost pendant light by Gunnel Svensson at the DesignOnline.se's web site.

Found this elegant steel metal rice paper lamp at Target for $39.99. The white rice paper shade itself is ribbed making the light that shines through soft white. It stands fashionable in the corner of the room as it does not overpower the other furniture around it. The lamp exudes a contemporary look.

The base is silver-painted steel with a matte finish. Near the base there the electric cord has an on/off foot switch, making the lamp on and off extremely convenient (and for some bizarre reason fun). I'm actually surprised not a lot of floor lamps use this type of mechanism.

This Target rice paper lamp can be powered with three 60-watt bulbs (not included). Using light bulbs with higher wattage will turn your contemporary paper lamp into contemporary ash.

Bulletin! Bulletin! Bulletin! The bottom of the cuteness barrel has dropped. It dropped today when I hit up the Uncommon Goods web site and I saw their paper Animal Lamps. These paper lamps are approximately 8 inches tall by 6 inches in width and come in various animal forms including: froggie, piggie, doggie, kitten, and (silly) monkey. Man, I bet you can even put these in a stroller and walk around and get all sorts of awwwwws and ooohs. Only $20.00 to boot.

Heat & Glo, makers of high-end fireplaces, recently introduced The Aqueon Hydrogen Burning Fireplace, the first fireplace fueled by water. This means that the fire does not generate carbon monoxide, in fact, it replenishes oxygen in the home. Pretty cool. The technology allows for 31,000 Btu/ hour of heat energy to be generated in the room by using 1/2 gallon of water per hour. You can read more about the Aqueon Hydrogen Burning Fireplace at the Heat & Glo Web site. 100% pollution-free fireplace in 2005. Who would have thought.
