Choosing your Flush Light
Choosing the right flush light depends on your room’s needs and style preferences. Consider the following:
- What size?: For a small 10×10 ft room, a 30–40 cm light is ideal. Bigger spaces (12×14 ft and over) benefit from a 40–60 cm diameter fitting.
- Bulb Type: Go for LED bulbs for energy savings efficiency, brightness and colour temperature choice.
- Brightness: Look at wattage or lumens for adequate lighting. For example, 800–1000 lumens suits small spaces, whilst larger rooms need 2400 and over.
- Finish and Material: Try and match your room’s decor. Chrome, brushed nickel, or glass offer modern looks, crystal adds luxury or choose bronze or mellow brass finishes to match your accessories.
- Installation: Ensure the fixture’s weight and wiring suit your ceiling type. Professional installation is recommended for safety.
Where to use flush lights?
Bathrooms & Kitchens: You need plenty of light in these rooms to perform tasks like cooking, shaving and applying makeup. A low profile bathroom ceiling light with three or more bulbs and glass shade will provide ample light, be easy to clean and look good too.
Bedrooms: Bedrooms are usually smaller than living rooms and usually require a more subdued ambience. A small frosted or coloured glass flush mount will provide ample light without glare. Tip: Use a dimmer switch for ultimate flexibility.
Hallways & Vestibules: Smaller hallways and vestibules often have limited space to work with and are ideal for flush fitting lights. Their high output, compact dimensions and low profile make them ideal for smaller spaces.
Living & Dining Rooms: If your living or dining areas have low ceilings, you can transform them into warm, well lit, inviting and functional spaces by using a larger flush with at least three bulbs and fit a dimmer switch. This ensures that every corner of the room will be well lit and the level of illumination can quickly be adjusted to suit your activity or mood.

Flush lights are fittings that mount directly to the ceiling without chains or drop rods. Designed for rooms with limited height, they offer sleek, uncluttered looks and modern efficiency.
What’s the difference between flush and semi-flush lights?
Flush fittings are mounted directly to the ceiling whilst semi flush lights usually drop a little more, typically 15 – 30cm. Semi flush fittings typically feature uplighter shades of swirling arms, providing more visual interest than a flush mount. In either case, there should be 2m of headroom below the fitting so as not to impede access. For a slightly lower drop designs, explore our semi-flush ceiling lights.
