Not all ceiling light fixtures are alike and they are not all designed to produce the same kind of light, or to use the light in the same way. The functionality of the ceiling light may be different and so selecting the right kind is important based on how you need to use the light or what purpose it should serve.

Flush Mount or Semi-Flush Mount lights are likely the most common lighting fixtures in your home. They are versatile, don’t require much space, and are available in a multitude of styles and finishes. Close-to-ceiling lights are natural choices for closets, hallways, and small rooms. Just because you don’t have the space for a large, elaborate light fixture, doesn’t mean you have to settle for plain, boring lights. So how do you pick the perfect ceiling light?

Flush vs. Semi Flush Lighting

A flush mount naturally sits directly on the ceiling, while a semi-flush hangs down several inches, leaving airspace between the ceiling and the fixture. Based on your ceiling height, you may be limited in what fixture you can install.

- For low ceilings (below 8'), you will want to pick a flush mount light fixture. (If you have a table or counter below the light, you can choose a semi-flush or even a chandelier)

- For ceiling heights of 9' to 10', consider a semi flush mount light. Most hang less than a foot from the ceiling.

- For over 10' ceilings, you should consider chandeliers or pendants.

- A flush light fixture works best in hallways, closets, bedrooms, or bathrooms.

- A semi-flush light fixture adds a nice touch to a kitchen nook or a smaller low-ceiling dining room.
