How to Light a Kitchen

What is a semi flush mount ceiling light?
- - A semi flush mount ceiling light is a type of ceiling light fixture that is suspended, leaving a small gap between the ceiling and the fixture. This gap allows for an uplit effect, while also providing a direct downward light. These fixtures are often more decorative than flush mount fixtures and provide more illumination, making them a preferred option for living spaces.
What is the purpose of a flush mount ceiling light?
- - A flush mount ceiling light is installed directly onto the ceiling and shines light downward. Because there's no space between the ceiling and the light itself, flush mount lights are ideal in rooms with shorter ceilings and for keeping dust and debris away from the bulb and shade. They're typically useful as overall lighting in a small room or task lighting in larger rooms, but flush mount lights should not be the single source of light in a room.
What is the difference between flush mount and semi-flush lighting?
- - Flush mount lighting is installed directly against the ceiling, providing ambient light for various spaces. Semi-flush mount lighting fixtures are positioned up to 18 inches from the ceiling. Combining the style of chandeliers with the smaller footprint of a flush mount, semi-flush lighting is highly suitable for smaller contemporary spaces. It's important to choose a ceiling fixture whose scale is in balance with the size of the room.
What types of ceiling lights work for various spaces?
- - The best type of ceiling light depends on the specific needs of your space. A combination of ambient, task, and accent lighting can achieve a balance of light that meets all of your needs. Flush mount and semi-flush mount lights are great for areas with lower ceilings. For rooms with high ceilings or a lot of square footage, you may require more than one light and will likely benefit from a layered lighting strategy. Dimmable light fixtures can help customize the ambiance of your home and allow you to adapt your space to any occasion.
