Autumn Switchable

Pumpkins are a squash fruit that come in colors ranging from white through gray. They commonly weigh up to 80 pounds (36 kg). Our Switchables are the familiar bright orange of autumn, with a deep green (almost black) stem and silver metal vines...and they only weigh a few ounces, which makes them a lot better night lights than actual gourds!

Irish immigrants gave us the ancient Celtic custom of using pumpkins as lanterns. All Hallows Eve was the end of the old Celtic calendar year, and on October 31 hollowed-out turnips, beets and rutabagas with candles inside them were placed on windowsills and porches to welcome home the spirits of deceased ancestors and ward off evil spirits and a restless soul called "Stingy Jack," hence the name "Jack-o-lantern".

These stained glass lenses are used interchangeably with the basic Switchables fixture (or any other light source). The lens is not a stand-alone nightlight. Switchables lenses also make fine sun catchers and ornaments.
