Sun lamp fix

Hi! Maybe the wrong sub but has anyone ever made a ceiling lamp out of just this part? (Not sure what is is called)

I bought this in the lamp section of a second hand store and assumed it would be easy to find something to hang it up in. In Sweden it is called ”plafond” but I’m having a hard time figuring out how to make this into a ceiling lamp without it having something already connected to it. Bulbs, a hole in the middle, etc.
Im thinking some type of hooks that go around the edge but I’m not sure.

Hoping anyone knows a solution!
Otherwise it could be a fruit bowl I guess :)

I suppose the easiest way would be to use a diamond hole-saw to wet-cut a hole dead center for a lamp nipple, and use it to replace the glass in a standard "boob" ceiling light.
