There are two kinds of light  -  the glow that illuminates, and the glare that obscures.

I fitted a replacement glass globe into one of my oily lampses.  The original glass cracked on Sunday after getting water splashed onto it.

@ AH_87: The replacement I got was NOS and still has the sticker on it.    Not a bad price either, seventeen quid including postage.
