globe light

Round ceiling fixture

A globe light is a light fixture with a spherical shade, typically made of glass or plastic, that diffuses light evenly in all directions.

Globe lights appear as bathroom vanity fixtures, outdoor porch lights, and decorative string lights: We replaced the old globe light above the mirror.

The shape minimizes harsh shadows and glare.
