Why have a humdrum central light when you can have a star ceiling light fixture? A light fixture in the shape of a Moravian star is a beautiful item, whether the light is on or off. Other light fixture arrangements with a star theme can also add beauty and interest to your ceiling. They can be especially effective when teamed with glow-in-the-dark constellation ceilings, or other night sky treatments.
The Moravian Star
The Moravian star is considered to be an advent symbol, originating with the Church of Moravia. It was made famous by Peter Verbeek, an alumnus of the Niesky Paedagogium (a church school for boys) where the star was a geometry lesson, began selling the 110-point stars and their instructions in his bookstore. Translated into metal and glass, this star makes an amazing light fixture for any time of the year but is particularly poignant during religious festivals that focus on stars.
Star Shaped Base Fixtures
Star-shaped lamp bases that fit flush to the ceiling can be made from brushed bronze or other decorative material to good effect. The bulb is screwed into a socket in the center of the fixture, and the rays of the starbase can catch the light from it. While perhaps not so impressive as the Moravian star, this can still be a beautiful effect.
Star and Moon Bowl Globe for Ceiling Lights
Beautiful both night and day, a simple bowl globe that fits over three light bulbs can be made beautiful with a soft brushed moon, stars and fluffy clouds. It can easily blend with a faux sky ceiling effect, helping create an illusion of space even for small rooms. Add glow-in-the-dark stick-on star points to complete the illusion. The star points can charge during the day or while the light is on, then create soft constellations on your ceiling when the light is out – perfect for your star-gazer, young or old.
Surreal Hanging Bulb Star
White wires form the shape of a star and in the center of it floats the light. Use a soft white LED light for brilliance and long-term energy saving, and to create the illusion that the light is floating in the center of the starshape. Less elaborate than the Moravian Star and not as simplistic as the bowl globe or light fixture starbase, this light fixture would go well with stark modernism or a primitive décor.
Turkish Mosaic Star Lamp
Nothing quite keeps up with cut glass as a light bulb cover. A Turkish cut glass mosaic with a star shape on each side of the lamp will wow guests and lift your heart on even the gloomiest days. The soft blue can tint the light almost like a stage light set to create false moonlight.
Night-time light pollution, overcast heavens, and all – you can have stars in your night every evening with these star ceiling light fixtures. All you need is a beautiful star-shaped light fixture to light up your world – at least until you flip the “off” switch.
