Remember those ugly recessed can lights from the 80s? Thankfully I don’t have to tackle any of them in my new apartment, but if you’re stuck with ugly can lighting, there’s a new easy fix. The current issue of Home magazine pointed out Worth Home Products’s new “Instant Pendant Light.” The clever lights screw directly into your recessed can fixtures and transform them into pendant lamps. The ‘Shop Light’ model, shown here, is my favorite of the bunch. and at $60 a piece, they’re a real bargain, especially considering you won’t have to pay an electrician to install them! (Note: they are being sold at Lowe’s as the PORTFOLIO Recessed Light Conversion Kit)
