In literature, light often symbolizes inspiration, knowledge, and the low-fat content of diet cream cheese. Fill homes with low-fat light beams with today's Groupon: for $35, you get $100 worth of lighting at Lights Fantastic on Greenville Avenue.

Experienced lighting consultants guide shoppers searching for the perfect photon source among Lights Fantastic's extensive selection of lamps, chandeliers, sconces, and more. Cheer up a tired old table with a beaming buffet-lamp companion ($96.80), ventilate a room with a ceiling fan, or decorate exteriors with brass and pewter outdoor wall lanterns to guide the ghost of a wayward pet home ($71.55).

Eco-friendly consumers can also peruse energy-efficient lighting sources (which use 25% less electricity than normal fixtures) such as contemporary flush-mount ceiling lights ($104.40). The flush-mount lights are filled with long-lasting fluorescent bulbs that meet Energy Star standards and can be used for reading or flipping through books without words.
