Corner Light Fixtures
The light fixtures I chose
for our faux support log accents were very inexpensive
units purchased at the local Home Depot store. Although
these operate using a pull chain, you may want to investigate
some other creative wireless
home automation options.
Companies now sell wireless controls for lights, appliances,
entertainment devices and virtually anything electrical.
If you are installing such accents in an existing structure,
managing the wiring is always a chore.

Note also that I turned the fixtures to face 'UP' as opposed to their typical installation as down lights. Because of the height at which they are mounted, I didn't want the glare of an incandescent bulb to be a distraction, so shining the light upwards provides a warm glow and accentuates the wood ceiling.
The picture at left shows how the opaque globe dispenses a warm glow of light without offending your eyes with a direct glare. This is a great way to light up a dark corner without using up any floor space for a table and lamp.
