Wanna Meet Duplexalites?
Last week I was quite excited to find SIX Duplexalite pendants.
Six! I have never before found more than two.
But what, you may ask, is a Duplexalite?
The Miller Company created a fixture they dubbed Duplexalite. I sell a number of these wonderful fixtures each year (see link below). There is a wide variety in terms of colors, patterns, and details, but each Duplexalite comprises a single 300W socket, a glass bottom shade, and a large metal shade above. The fixtures throw a lot of light UP, and thus a highly diffused, flattering light quality is the result. You can even find Duplexalites in the White House!

What an amazing difference with the green paint gone! I’m particularly fond of the ones in the Cabinet Room with the “tassels”!
My wife and I were just watching “Liar Liar” this weekend (easily my favorite Jim Carrey movie), and thanks to your post, I recognized Duplaxalite fixtures in the courthouse scenes! I don’t know what courthouse was used for filming, but it is beautiful in general.
Ha!
My friends all complain that they can no longer JUST watch a movie.
Now they notice all the lighting!
Haha, yes, as I’ve developed a keener eye for architecture, I find myself seeing those kinds of details more and more when watching movies.
