One is illuminating my keyboard at this moment. I got two from Cost Plus in
MV; they have different sizes of wood/paper globes, for <$10, and a fixture
(about $10) that is inserted into it to hold the lamp. You can by as much
zip cord as you need from a hardware store and a light fixture - probably no
more than three or four dollars - and do the same thing yourself. I made
two, one for the living room and one for my study. They work well with
dimmers.
