Flush ceiling lights are a staple in both residential and commercial interiors due to their space-saving design and widespread illumination. As the name suggests, these fixtures are mounted directly against the ceiling with little to no gap, making them ideal for rooms with low ceilings or for areas where a streamlined look is preferred. A lot of new build homes, have low ceiling heights approximately around 2.3M in height from floor to ceiling, so unless the light is above a kitchen island, table or a staircase, a flush light is the best choice.
What Are Flush Ceiling Lights?
Unlike hanging fixtures like pendants or chandeliers, flush ceiling lights sit flat or nearly flat against the ceiling. This close-to-ceiling profile makes them perfect for hallways, bedrooms, closets, bathrooms, and other rooms with standard or lower ceiling heights. They offer broad, ambient lighting, distributing light evenly across a room.
