Flush mount ceiling lights hang close to the ceiling and attract minimal attention while lighting up a large area. These fixtures are perfect for apartments with low ceilings and can also be a viable alternative if you have kids or pets excited to hanging lights at the house. Furthermore, this sort of lighting can be utilized in any room irrespective of traffic and height.
Ceiling lights lead to flush and semi-flush ceiling fixtures.
- Flush ceiling lights are not inset and do not swing down. Instead, they are installed with a tiny gap between the ceiling and the light fixture body.
- Semi-flush ceiling light hangs just below the ceiling. They share the flush mount's narrower profile and preserve clearance space under the fixture while offering the look of a short chandelier.
- To come at the perfect height of the ceiling light:
- Measure the room height, in feet.
- To find the minimum height, multiply the room height by 2.5. Record the total as inches rather than feet.
- To find the maximum height, multiply the room height again, this time by 3, and note it as inches.
- Pick a ceiling light that is inside the reach of the minimum and maximum.
- How much space do you have for the fixture to fall? The drop is significant if your fixture is located where a door has to open underneath. Don't forget, and sometimes fixtures have small finials or extra embellishments that make their finished size bigger than you think.
- How does the fixture look lit and unlit? Sometimes they can look pretty strange, so be sure to buy one you like in both approaches.
- Is the fixture in good condition? Confirm that all the parts mentioned in the box are actually inside it. Look for broken glass, scratches, or any other possible manufacturer defects.
- What type of bulb should you use? What wattage is required? It is essential to know because it will make your work easy and useful as well.
- The minimum clearance below the lowest point of a flush or semi flush mount lighting is 7 feet. If the globe pendant lighting fixtures are in an entryway or near the swing of a doorway, there should be at least 6 inches clearance between the top of the door and the fixture's bottom edge.
- Professional interior designs utilize additional, specific formulas to select the correct size and dimension of ceiling lights to fit the room best.
