Flush Mount Lights are ideal for low ceilings and modern interiors, providing sleek, energy-efficient illumination for bedrooms, hallways, kitchens, and living areas.
What are Flush Mount Lights & where are they best used?
Flush Mount Lights are ceiling light fixtures designed to sit close against the ceiling, creating a clean, seamless finish while still providing strong ambient lighting. They’re a popular option for homes and commercial spaces because they suit almost any room and work especially well in areas with lower ceilings or limited overhead clearance.
Our Flush Mount Lights range offers a wide selection of sizes, shapes, and modern styles, helping you find the perfect match for your space. Most of our flush mount lights are LED compatible, offering the latest in lighting efficiency and long-lasting technology.
Flush mount lights are ideal for spaces where you want bright, even lighting without hanging fittings. Common areas include:
Hallways and entryways
Bedrooms
Living rooms
Kitchens
Dining rooms (especially with low ceilings)
Rental properties and apartments
Offices and commercial rooms
They’re also a great choice for minimalist interiors where a neat ceiling finish is the priority.
What us the difference between a Flush Mount Light and an Oyster Light?
Both sit close to the ceiling, but they have slightly different styles and applications:
Flush Mount Lights: often more decorative and design-focused, available in many shapes/finishes
Oyster Lights: typically more compact and practical, often chosen for broad diffused lighting in hallways, rentals, and outdoor covered areas
Many customers choose flush mount lights when they want a more premium decorative finish while still keeping the fixture low-profile.
Are Flush Mount lights good for low ceilings?
Yes — flush mount lights are one of the best ceiling lighting options for low ceilings because they sit close to the surface, helping to:
reduce the “hanging” or cluttered look
improve head clearance
make rooms feel more open and spacious
They’re ideal for apartments, bedrooms, hallways, and compact spaces.
Do Flush Mount Lights give enough light?
Yes. Flush mount lights are designed to provide strong ambient lighting, but the brightness depends on:
the lumen output
the diffuser or shade design
whether it’s a built-in LED fitting or uses replaceable globes
the room size and ceiling height
For larger rooms, you may benefit from using two flush mounts or pairing with task lighting such as lamps or downlights.

Can Flush Mount Lights use LED globes?
Yes — most flush mount lights are LED compatible, and using LED globes is one of the best ways to enjoy:
lower energy bills
longer lifespan
less heat output
brighter lighting with less power usage
Always check the lamp holder type (e.g. E27 / E14 / GU10) and recommended wattage before choosing globes.
Are Flush Mount Lights Dimmable?
Many flush mount lights can be dimmable, but it depends on the model and globe type.
To dim a flush mount light, you’ll need:
a dimmable LED globe (if it takes replaceable globes)
a compatible LED dimmer switch
or a fitting designed with a dimmable LED driver (if it’s integrated LED)
What colour temperature should I choose for a Flush Mount Light?
Here’s a simple guide:
Warm White (2700K–3000K): bedrooms, living rooms, cosy spaces
Neutral/Cool White (4000K): kitchens, hallways, general-purpose areas
Daylight (5000K–6500K): garages, workshops, task-focused areas
If you want flexibility, consider a Tri-Colour CCT flush mount where you can choose the colour temperature.
Are Flush Mount Lights easy to install?
Flush mount lights are generally straightforward for an electrician to install, especially if replacing an existing ceiling light in the same location.
If the fitting is hardwired, installation should be done by a licensed electrician to ensure it meets safety standards.
