Q. I'm looking to take out a small flourescent light fixture from the ceiling and was wondering what kind of ceiling light would be ambient for a small room I'll be using as an office. I think a ceiling fan would be too large (this room is small)... any suggestions?
A. Choose any 'close to the ceiling' light fixture rather than a pendant fixture. They have a lot of nice ones out there...all different styles. Take a look at this link for some inspiration...

Looking for a square glass shade for a ceiling light. Where can I find one?
Q. I have an ceiling lighting fixture that has a square glass shade that I broke last night. It is just a square piece of glass with a hole in the middle that is attached to the fixture via a screw that goes through the whole and then a cap that is put on the screw to hold the glass in place. Does anyone know if they sell these shades at a Loews, Home Depot or Target type store? I found one on amazon, but they're charging over $8 in shipping for a $3 item. Please help! Thanks!

How do I convert a fan light kit to a ceiling light?
Q. I want to use a fan light kit as a ceiling light. What do I need to do to make sure this works out?
A. I may be reading this wrong. I am certainly reading it differently than others. You want to use light kit made for a ceiling fan as a ceiling light, without a ceiling fan.
The problem here lies in the way the two are made to mount. A ceiling light has a bracket and matching holes and/or bolts to work with an electrical box. A ceiling fan light kit is made to attach to the bottom of the ceiling fan and generally has a hub base with holes on the side to attach it to the fan assembly.
I have never seen an adapter to make them work, although I am sure there is one. You will not find anything like that at Lowes or Home Depot, although they may be able to order one. Check out your local electric supply shops, the ones the electrical contractors use, Price may make it less practical.
