    George Nelson

    George Nelson

    When writing about the course of his remarkable 50-year career, George Nelson described a series of creative "zaps" — moments of out-of-the-blue inspiration "when the solitary individual finds he is connected with a reality he never dreamed of."

    Nelson said that for a designer to deal creatively with human needs, "he must first make a radical, conscious break with all values he identifies as anti-human." Designers also must constantly be aware of the consequences of their actions on people and society. In fact, he declared that "total design is nothing more or less than a process of relating everything to everything." So he said that rather than specializing, designers must cultivate a broad base of knowledge and understanding.

    Nelson did so as few are able, and, with the help of well-timed zaps, he helped define modern, humane design.

    A mid-century classic, the Bubble Lamp was first designed by George Nelson in 1947 and was produced by Howard Miller starting in the early 1950s and ending in 1979. The supplier has reissued the Nelson Bubble Lamps to the original specifications, using the original Howard Miller tooling. These famous lamps are part of the permanent collection of the Museum of Modern Art in New York.

    So happy to finally have one

    I've admired these for some time and finally had a need for one. Really beautiful piece, excellent construction and well worth the short wait for delivery. As much as I hate the color of light produced by the average CFL the shade of this lamp does a great job of warming the light up. Still might go back to a incandescent, I'm just an analog kind of guy.

    Classic

    This light solves the problem of dark corners simply and elegantly.

    It works great as a reading light but is beautiful enough to just hang there

    as an object to behold.

    Beautiful wall-hanging lamp

    I love this lamp -- it is simple and unobtrusive; provides a soft, diffuse light, and adds a subtle sophistication to our living room. I found it easy to install, although it requires 2 people, and the small counterweight not shown in the picture doesn't bother me. I'm only giving it 4 stars because it doesn't handle a 3-way light, which would make it perfect.

    Beautiful, but heavy!

    A lovely look for our library, and essential as there is no overhead lighting and these provide the right ambience.

    However, there is a large and very heavy transformer in the cord, high enough up that it's visible on the wall. None of the picures or descriptions show this which is why I'm writing this review.

    Also, I bought two of these to hang as a pair, but the transformers are different heights on the cord, which means the symmetry I wanted isn't possible. Rather poor that this isn't standardized.

    It is exactly what I wanted.

    Although a bit difficult to hang, the Cigar Wall Sconce is well made and looks fabulous in my den.

    Excellent Choice for design, quality of light and ease of installation

    We love these sconces - they added the perfect finishing touch to our bedroom redesign to a more contemporary look. I find them quite beautiful and being energy conscious, I especially like the use of cfl bulb. With the shades, the glow is diffuse and bright, not harsh at all, and good for reading. Well made, well designed, easy to operate and easy to install. Definitely worth the money.

    This light has great style and function—gives off even light without any hotspots.

    I love the details—wood, weighted cord that becomes a design element. We have 4 Nelson lights in the house and love every one of them.

    Beautiful Accent Piece

    We purchased this light to add depth to our living room. Our current set up is made up of strong lines and edgy modern living. Adding the bubble sconce, softened those lines and helped bring warm to the space. We love it and hope to add another one to our bedroom.

    A warm and inviting classic.

    The light is well made and pretty much makes any room you put it in look better. It's a bit of a pain to install which is the only reason I gave it four stars. It really requires 2 people to put up.

    Beautiful shape; gives off a strong, soft light with a higher watt bulb.

    My wife and I love the modern look of this series. We put pendant "bubble cigar" lamps in our bedroom. I installed 100 watt bulbs, and we have almost all the light we need, both for reading and to generally fill the space. We do need an additional ceiling light, because we are in a loft, and have a fairly big bedroom. I love these for reading; we hung the lights fairly high to fill the space and I just pull the light down closer to where I'm reading at night. No screws or instructions for installing the light came with the product. Still, installation was fairly easy--we put them right into our dry wall with four screws and mollies from the Home Depot.

    Beautiful reproduction -- perfectly true

    What an amazing lamp. Perfectly reconstructed, true to the original Nelson design. Really well made, though my cord was a little scuffed by the way the cord-weight was attached (with a wire tie -- not a big deal though). A solid walnut piece is used to attach it to the wall. I'm quite happy with this lamp.

    Thrilled with this lamp.

    Love it, love it, love it. Provides such a perfect glowy warm light for our living room, and serves as both reading light and general light. Didn't have the trouble installing mentioned by some purchasers. Just used a level and a careful hand. Does take two people to install, though...

    Fantastic lamp.

    The George Nelson line at Ylighting is fantastic. Thank you for carrying it!

    Nice Lamp, provides great lighting by the bed.

    Only flaw is installation, as noted on other reviews, it is difficult to install the screws into the wall without slightly damaging the wires. Also, must be sure it is installed completely level or else it will swing to one side or the other.

    Good but some reservations

    All of the Nelson lamps are great and this has the added benefit of not needing any hard wiring- however the design for mounting on the wall is a bit odd. It's quite difficult to screw in, because you need to attach the screws while being very careful to avoid the power cord--- I found that to be rather strange. I think they might want to consider smaller screws or different type screws so this is less of an issue.

    Remodel Housings

    In contrast to new construction housings, remodeling housings are appropriate when you have limited or no access to the space above a new fixture, such as in an apartment or a home without crawl spaces or attics above.

    New Construction Housings

    In contrast to remodeling housings, new construction housings are bulkier and need to be installed between joist beams or onto hangar bars and thus you need full access to the space above the fixture. This style is best used if you are building in a new space, gutting a room, or have an attic above or pop out ceiling, etc.

    Non-IC Rated

    Non-IC stands for: non insulation contact. Thus, non-IC-rated housings must be kept at least 3 inches away from any insulation.

    IC Rated

    IC stands for: insulation contact. Thus, IC-rated housings can come in direct contact with thermal insulation.

    MR16 Halogen Bulb

    MR 16 is a standard format for halogen multifaceted reflector light bulbs. MR16 lamps are regularly used in place of standard incandescent light bulbs as they harness and shoot light, resulting in less light loss than a traditional bulb. These are best used when you want focused light such as in a pendant over a countertop or an accent light on a painting.

    cUL Listed

    CUL stands for Underwriters Laboratories of Canada, a non-profit company that tests electrical components and equipment for potential hazards. If something is UL-listed, I means it has met the agency's safety requirements for things like fire, shock hazards, etc. While you can buy and install non-UL listed fixtures, sometimes insurance policies will limit their liabilities accordingly, inspectors may not approve permits, etc.

    Damp Location

    If the environment exposes the lighting system to moisture condensation, then the location is a damp location. Lights that are approved for damp locations can be used in sheltered outdoor areas such as roofed porches or interior locations subject to moderated degrees of moisture such as basements.

    Wet Location

    If the lighting system is exposed to direct impact by water from splashing or dripping, which will make the fixture wet, then the location is a wet location. Your most common wet locations are uncovered outdoor areas.

    The term Baffle refers to the grooved style of the trim. This trim is the most popular choice of all recessed lighting trims and is best used in living rooms, dining rooms, bedrooms, and dens.

    Open Reflector

    Reflector trims have a higly polished inner trim, which gives the most amount of light off of the light bulb. This trim is perfect for use in kitchens, offices and commercial buildings.

    The slotted aperture trim is used to highlight or accent a specific object or space.

    Pin Hole

    Pin Hole trims give off a narrow spread of light. This trim is perfect for highlight a small object from above.

    A Step Baffle refers to the evenly spaced and large grooves in the trim. This trim is for use in all living spaces in a house (bedrooms, living rooms, and dens).

    Wall Wash

    Wall Wash trims will have a shield inserted into the trim. This allows the light to be directed at an angle against a wall or large surface: paintings, large photos, etc.

    Gimbal Ring

    Gimbal Ring trims allow the light bulb to be directed or angled to highlight a specific spot or general area. This trim is popular in living rooms, dens and home offices.

    Eyeball

    Eyeball trims refer to the look of the trim as an eyeball. The bulb is housed in the eyeball portion and allows for maximum adjustability in positioning the light. This trim is for use in living rooms, dens and home offices.
