More of the Same

Today I went shopping for light fixtures. To be honest, I hardly ever paid attention to light fixtures before but now that we need them for our own house, I can hardly pass a house without noting the style of their lights. Lantern, wall-mounted, polished brass, bronze, iron, traditional, modern, rustic....And I cannot choose one! This is where one needs a good sense of dimensions: too big and your lights are all that people can see, too small and they disappear. I spent an hour or so at Fairfield Lighting. They are smaller than their competitor in South Norwalk but that was precisely their strength. Fewer but more invested sales people, one of whom took a lot of time educating me on what sizes and styles to look for. I like that, not that I have anything against Klaff's, with whom I have done a lot of business too over the last year. And maybe I will still order something online after all, let's see.
