Vintage bathroom light

[Cole D]

I have always liked vintage bathroom lights, especially this fixture. I happened to be on Westinghouse's website the other day and found that they still sell these, and found that my local Home Depot was listed as having them in stock. I just had to get one for the collection of vintage lights, but while they didn't have the Westinghouse version, they did have the Progress Lighting one which is basically the same. I love the look of the shade on this with the clear/frosted glass as well as the shape and circles on the bottom. A true antique amidst all the modern fixtures they have. And the pull chain and convenience outlet are cool too on something new.

Here's a video of the onboxing, which I admit isn't great but shows a general idea of the look.



There are a few other versions such as this which has different glass and no pull chain:

I found another of these at Lowes and decided to get it. It's similar to the Progress Lighting one, but the bottom of the glass is different and the outlet is black.

I think it's cool that they still make these old style fixtures with the pull chain and convenience outlet today.

We never had these up in Canada, at least not with a built-in pull-chain switch.  Thank you for posting, Cole!
