Aloha,

I read through a bunch of the threads about making the float lamps, but still had a couple questions.

Does anyone have a good source for large floats/balls/globes that are at least 24"+?

Does Oceanic Arts carry any lights that are this size, new or vintage? And if so, what kind of prices?

I've gone through some lighting suppliers, but the largest I could find are about 20" in plastic, and they can range from $125 up to $250 for just the globe with no fixture.

Any help is much appreciated!

Mahalo!!!!

Aloha,

I've been searching for that size for quite some time too.

OA does not sell any globe larger than 12" with or without a light fixture. Their vintage ones were larger - but suppliers seem to have leveled off at the 12" size and don't seem provide anything larger.

IF you do find a supplier, could you please let me know? I'd be very interested in making the larger globes into lamps.

I hope that helped a little. Maybe someone else will chime in too.
