Close to the Ceiling Lighting: Flush & Semi-Flush Mount Fixtures

With their lower vertical profiles, flush mount ceiling lighting, also called close to ceiling lighting, can be installed in all spaces regardless of the ceiling height. They can go anywhere a pendant light, chandelier, or ceiling fan can go, but you can also mount them on lower ceilings where a lower-hanging light won’t fit, making them a truly versatile type of light fixture.

With their lower vertical profiles, flush mount ceiling lighting, also called close to ceiling lighting, can be installed in all spaces regardless of the ceiling height. They can go anywhere a pendant light, chandelier, or ceiling fan can go, but you can also mount them on lower ceilings where a lower-hanging light won’t fit, making them a truly versatile type of light fixture. Capitol Lighting’s 1800Lighting.com has hundreds of close to ceiling lighting for every space and style. Order yours today!

Where Close to Ceiling Lights Work Best 

Close to ceiling lighting may fit virtually any space, but it’s particularly well suited for rooms with low ceilings. We always recommend at least 7.5 feet of clearance from the lowest portion of the fixture to the floor. For rooms with a standard eight-foot ceiling, a close to ceiling light fixture may be the perfect fit. With this in mind, you can install a close to ceiling fan in bedrooms, bathrooms, closets, halls, living rooms, kitchens, and anywhere else you need task or ambiance lighting. If you have an eave, porch, or patio that requires lighting, a flush mount light rated for outdoor use is ideal. 


There are, however, some spaces where you should opt for other types of lighting. If you have a taller room with a single light box, you may want to consider a pendant lamp, chandelier, or ceiling fan with a light kit. The higher you mount your flush mount light, the darker the room will be, so a flush mount light could be less than ideal with taller ceilings. Consider one of the other options for rooms with ceilings 12 feet or greater. 

Choosing the Best Flush Mounts Light for Your Home

You might be overwhelmed by your choices with many available options from Visual Comfort and Co., Quoizel, Mitzi, Crystorama, ELK Lighting, and others. Here are a few tips to help you make your lighting decision:

Circumference or Width of the Fixture

Measure the space of your ceiling area. The larger the room, the larger the fixture you can choose to install. One rule is to add both the length and width of the room and then convert that number to inches. So, if your is 10 feet x 12 feet, add the two numbers together (10 + 12 = 22), and then make your fixture approximately that many inches. 

Number of Fixtures

If you have multiple lighting boxes in a space, you can choose to install smaller flush mount fixtures since there will be more of them. Otherwise, a smaller single-bulb flush-mount light may not be enough. 

Number and Type of Bulbs 

Like other types of fixtures, flush mount lighting can have single or multiple bulbs. In addition, 1800Lighting.com has fixtures that take incandescent bulbs or low-energy LED bulbs that last for years. 

Dimming Capability

A dimmer switch can be a nice option for switching between mood lighting and task lighting, but not all fixtures are rated for dimming. If you intend to have dimmer switch, make sure you buy a dimmable fixture and bulbs. 

Close to Ceiling Lighting Styles and Finishes for Any Décor

There are so many flush mount fixture options you should never have to compromise on the style. Choose between frosted glass shades, cloth shades, unshaded bulbs, and more. Finishes run the gamut from brass, brushed nickel, bronze, iron, and a number of variations for each material.

Difference Between Flush Mount and Semi-Flush Mount Fixtures

If you’re looking at flush mount lighting, you may have also heard the term “semi-flush mount” used to describe lighting fixtures. Semi-flush mount fixtures have a flush mount base, but the rest of the light extends downward. Unlike a pendant light, which has a wire or downrod, the top of the light connects directly with the mount. 


Whether you choose a flush mount or semi-flush mount depends on your preference and the height of your ceiling. If you have a ceiling that’s lower than eight feet, you should consider only true flush mount lighting. 

Outdoor Close to Ceiling Lighting 

Flush mount lighting is ideal for outdoor lighting. You can use it to light pathways, porches, or patios. If you have wall light fixtures, wall flush light fixtures are a viable alternative to wall sconces, particularly along narrower paths where sconces might protrude too far. Be certain any light fixture you choose for outdoor lighting has the proper rating.  

Installing Close to Ceiling Light Fixtures

If you’re planning on hanging your flush mount light fixture yourself, check out 1800Lighting’s Steps to Installing Flush Mount Lighting guide. If you don’t have experience hardwiring lights and fans, we recommend leaving the job to the professionals.
