Semi-flush mount ceiling light fixtures offer the perfect middle ground between flush mounts and chandeliers. They install close to the ceiling but hang slightly lower, creating visual interest while still preserving headroom — ideal for homes with standard 8–10 ft ceilings.

Why semi-flush lighting works: these fixtures provide broader light dispersion than flush mounts, making rooms feel brighter and more open. At the same time, they add decorative presence without overwhelming the space like a large chandelier might.
Where they shine: semi-flush mounts are popular in bedrooms, hallways, kitchens, dining nooks, entryways, home offices, and living areas — anywhere you want functional overhead lighting with a bit of style.
Styles and finishes: our collection includes modern, transitional, and traditional designs in finishes such as matte black, satin nickel, polished chrome, brushed brass, and oil-rubbed bronze — making it easy to coordinate with your cabinet hardware, faucets, and other lighting fixtures.
Planning tip: semi-flush fixtures work best when sized appropriately for the room. Smaller spaces benefit from compact profiles, while larger rooms can handle wider or multi-light designs for balanced illumination.
What is a semi-flush mount ceiling light?
A semi-flush mount ceiling light installs just below the ceiling using a short stem or downrod. It provides more depth and light spread than a flush mount while remaining suitable for mid-height ceilings.
When should I choose a semi-flush mount instead of a flush or chandelier?
Choose a semi-flush fixture when your ceiling is too low for a chandelier but you want more visual interest and illumination than a flush mount. They’re ideal for bedrooms, dining areas, kitchens, hallways, and entryways with 8–10 ft ceilings.
Are semi-flush ceiling lights compatible with LED bulbs?
Yes. Most semi-flush fixtures are compatible with LED bulbs, provided the bulb base and wattage match the fixture’s specifications. Always check product details for compatibility.
Do semi-flush mounts require special wiring?
No special wiring is typically required when replacing an existing ceiling fixture. Installation usually uses a standard junction box. For new wiring or ceiling modifications, a licensed electrician is recommended.
