Picture this: You're in the process of changing a lightbulb when, for whatever reason, your ceiling pendant plummets to the ground and shatters in tons of tiny pieces. Though your first inclination might be to panic—or beeline it to your computer to find a replacement—a TikToker named Justin Flom used this light fixture fumble as an opportunity to make some movie magic. More specifically? A cool ceiling mural of Iron Man.

In a recent TikTok, Flom showed a step-by-step guide to bringing his Marvel-ous vision to life. After creating Tony Stark's suit with a handful of stencils and lots of spray paint, he installed a light that's designed to look like the superhero's arc reactor in his chest. Voilà! An Iron Man-clad wall—arc reactor and all.

The Twitterverse always has a lot to say about home reno projects—like when this woman found a hidden pool underneath her floor and decided to turn it into an atrium. And the Iron Man Ceiling Mural is no exception, provoking plenty of comments of its own. Some commenters were blown away by the final result—one person wrote, "My son would lose his mind, he's OBSESSED with Iron Man." But others questioned how practical this ceiling solution. "Looks 100000% but functionality is definitely not there," one viewer critiqued. Another agreed and added, "It doesn't look like it's going to do a good job actually lighting the area."

Before you write this idea off as all sizzle and no steak, one TikToker thought of a great compromise: "This better suited as a wall accent not a ceiling light still love it [though]." But, regardless of where you think this lighting solution should go, it's safe to say that Tony Stark saved the day once again.
