FAQs

Question 1

Where do you put a flush mount light?

Accepted Answer

Flush mount lights go directly into the ceiling and sit flush against the surface of the ceiling, creating a downlight for the space below it. The type of shade will also influence the way the light fills a space. Generally, they are placed centrally in a room as the sole lighting fixture or symmetrically when multiple lights are being installed.

Question 2

What’s the difference between flush mount and surface mount lights?

Accepted Answer

A surface mount light is not the same thing as a flush mount light, though they do fulfil similar roles in lighting. A flush light sits flush against the ceiling, meaning it is minimally visible and often relatively unobserved. On the other hand, surface mount lights sit slightly away from the ceiling, meaning they can be seen more easily.
