Find the perfect flush ceiling light for bedrooms, kitchens, hallways, and any space with standard 8-foot ceilings.
Why Choose Flush Mount Lighting?
Flush mount ceiling lights install directly against the ceiling, maximizing headroom in spaces with 8-foot ceilings or where hanging fixtures aren't practical. These low profile fixtures provide wide, even illumination across entire rooms without vertical intrusion.
Unlike pendants or chandeliers, flush mounts work safely in bedrooms above beds, hallways with foot traffic, and closets where clearance matters. The ceiling-hugging design suits both residential and commercial applications.

Frequently Asked Questions
What size flush mount ceiling light do I need?
Add your room's length and width in feet—the total suggests diameter in inches. A 10×12 foot room suits a 20-22 inch fixture. For bedrooms, 14-18 inches works well; hallways typically need 10-14 inches.
What's the difference between flush mount and semi-flush?
Flush mounts install directly against the ceiling with minimal gap. Semi-flush fixtures drop 6-12 inches on short stems, providing more visual presence in spaces with 9-foot or higher ceilings.
Are flush mount lights good for low ceilings?
Yes. Flush mounts are specifically designed for standard 8-foot ceilings, extending just 4-6 inches from the ceiling surface. Low profile designs maximize headroom while providing wide, even illumination.
Can I put a flush mount in a bathroom?
Yes, with damp-rated fixtures designed for moisture exposure. Check product specifications for damp or wet ratings appropriate for bathroom installation locations.
Do flush mount lights provide enough light?
Multi-light flush mounts (2-5 bulbs) provide adequate illumination for most rooms. For larger spaces, use multiple fixtures or supplement with wall sconces. LED options deliver bright, energy-efficient light.
