Attack of the killer task lamp! (Just kidding.) Since reviewing novelty store GreatBigStuff.com last week, we've had giant-sized home goods on the brain, particularly lighting. In the right space, an oversized light fixture can bring a sense of scale, humor, and play. Click below for some high and low suggestions...

Wow, these are fun examples, although I don't think the high/low part of this post really materialized.

I agree about the "High/Low"...

Shouldn't that be for "This is the expensive/designer item, and here's a lower priced/more accessible but similarly designed substitute?" articles like Met Home does?

You forgot this one. Kinda high but low, and huge.
