Flush & Semi-Flush Mounts

Flush mounted ceiling lights and semi-open mounting

Fixed-mounted ceiling lights are varieties of lights that are mounted to the surface in different ways. These methods include a hidden and half-open installation of the ceiling fixture - flush, or with a snug fit to the surface without visible fasteners or installation on open screws.

Flush and semi-flush mounts are models of different styles and shapes. However, the leading one is still classic, urbanism and art deco, with a high-quality processing of bronze, patinated bronze, as well as stainless steel, brass, iron and nickel.

Almost all Moretti Luce and Zava models presented in our store are semi-flush mounts, with screw caps that are visible after installation on supports. All Fine Art Lamps ceiling lights on this page are flush mounts with screws located under the housing.

From the point of view of aesthetics, both types of lamps have their advantages. In semi-flush mounts, constructive fasteners carry a decorative function too. Products manufactured in urban and industrial style are undemanding to the exceptional subtlety of appearance - on the contrary, their simplicity is part of the style.

One of design features in semi-flush mounts is the frame in some models, protecting glass shade or light bulb. As that, an additional protection for an incandescent lamp can be a shade of a round or pear-shaped bulb made of transparent and very durable glass.

The geometrically diverse shape of the plafonds, concise or decorated, makes it possible to choose a lamp to your taste, moods and preferences, as well as the design of your room. Ceiling lights are usually installed in small rooms, spaces of rooms with large areas, as well as in long corridors or galleries.

The types and shapes for flush and semi-flush mounts determine the diameter of the bulb, the volume of the light bulb, glassed details, and shade area of light flux dispersion. The brighter and largest the lamp, the more open is shade to disperse light around. Models with LED-lighting in metal cases are decorated with frosted glass in different colors. Opaque glass creates the effect of soft daylight or evening light with various shades, from white to pale peach.
