Our home had about one of these boob lights in each room when we moved in. I think landlords put them in because they're cheap and not terribly offensive. They're just not very impressive and quite generic. Since I know how to hard wire the electrical work, I promptly changed them out for other fixtures mostly because I don't like the sort of light they cast but if you are stuck with yours here's some good ideas to revamp what you've got.

Everybody thinks I'm INSANE for calling them boob lights. Glad to know I have some company in my insanity!! =)
oh, hahahahahaha I had never made that connection before. I will forever call them boob lights now. =D
We have "boob" lights too- I just purchased vintage lantern style for our hall.
I love the compass, but our ceiling is textured. :(
LOL!!! I have ALWAYS called them that!!! Love that there are fellow like-thinking people out there!
haha I've always called them boob lights too. My apartment is full of them! I definitely need to get a ladder and do something with those sad little lights.

Haha! Hubby thinks its funny I hate them so much and when we redid our lighting I went out of the way to avoid them.
I love, love the second one with the starburst. Inspired!
That's a great idea! I never thought about doing anything like that; Thanks!
I always call them the BOOB light I'd rather go back to those dust collecting glass dishes that used to be cool then weren't and now are ;) I have tried a few boob light fixes but these are too cool! Do they have a technical name?? Contractor lighting maybe...boob light is waaaay better! Thanks for sharing!
Must be a girl thing...I think they looks like boobs, too....not to mention that I do have them in my studio!!!!!
