I don't understand the question. That picture is not a boob light. Is that the fixture in question, and the problem is none of the other solutions work because these fixtures have no, uh, nipple?

Yes, it is the light shown... not a "boob light"... not sure why they gave it that title.... and yeah... no 'nipple'. ha.

paint the base a neon pink for a colorful, mod and simple contrast. perhaps these lights can be referred to as nip-less boob lights. m

no solutions here, just this:

inward nipple light.

Barbie boob lights.

Thanks for the link, FINN3140. I'm using that.

@FINN3140 - that's the best solution I've ever seen - thanks for posting that! I've got 4 boob & semi-boob lights to cure here at home and it turns out I have all the supplies on hand.. woohoo.

My best suggestion would be to decorate the ceiling around the fixture, such as lightweight medallions, paint (if it is allowed), or even decals that are removable. Another idea would be to hang strings of objects (buttons, jewels or crystals, etc.) from the ceiling around it or the fixture itself - hope this sparks more ideas for you!

Take the glass shade off and measure the opening. My guess is that it is 10 or 12 inches in diameter. There are replacement shades made for these lights and you might find something that is more to your taste. It will still be a flush ceiling mounted light, but you might like it better.

Rejuvenation carries a few glass shades in 10 or 12 inch sizes.

I replaced my original glass with one (from Home Depot) that's a little bit mottled, but there are not very many interesting replacement options for this fixture. I've considered making something in a ring shape that attaches to the ceiling or ties around the metal part of the fixture (held in place by the little screws that hold the glass in place). You could put it in place around the original shade to keep the bulbs hidden. I saw some old chandelier pieces at a vintage store that would be fun to string together with wire, or maybe something made of crystal beads would be interesting.

Interesting idea CCATX, attaching something to the screws of the fixture might just work! AMANDACKEITH, also a good idea- and it did spark my imagination. :)

I wrote a post on creative solutions for updating boob light fixtures here in case it is helpful to anyone: http://www.homestoriesatoz.com/2012/02/do-boob-light-fixture.html

To mask a "boob light" a nipple (where the dome screws in), I once bought a paper umbrella from a japanese store, broke the stick down to the lowest point it would still open, and jammed the hollow stick onto the screw. It never fell down, looked awesome, and gave the light a softer, sexier quality.

I have a similiar type of light in my kitchen. What I did was find a lamp shade and hung from the base frame.You may not find the exact size match, but the small set screws can be used or you may need to be inventive with some type of hardware. You can punch a small hole through the lamp shade and insert the hardware where the set screw would have gone. You can see where I'm going with this. Being inventive with how you keep it in place.
