Nuvo Semi Flush Mount Ceiling Lights

A semi flush mount ceiling light is a type of light fixture that is installed into a ceiling but does not rest completely against it. This allows for more space between the light and the surface of the ceiling.

Semi flush mount ceiling lights are designed to be aesthetically pleasing fixtures that provide ambient lighting to your space.

Nuvo’s semi flush mount lights are most used in personal settings such as:

• Hallways
• Entryways
• Bedrooms
• Dining Rooms
• Kitchens

Nuvo semi flush mount lights can also provide balance in the type of lighting used within your space by acting as a centerpiece fixture in larger rooms. Other benefits of Nuvo semi-flush mounts include:

• Models come in various colors and finishes to match the interior of your space.
• Some fixtures can occupy up to 6 individual bulbs at once, strengthening the amount of light distributed through your space.
• Shade materials can be aluminum, glass or metal depending on your selected model.

While flush mount lighting is intended to be installed directly against the ceiling, semi flush mount lighting leaves a few inches of space between the suspended fixture and the ceiling.

Compared to flush mounted lights, semi flush mount lighting can provide more widespread and even illumination due to its center stem and lower elevation.

Nuvo semi flush mount lights provide diffused downward lighting that is easier on the eyes compared to a flush mounted light’s centralized downward illumination.

Several factors can contribute to selecting the perfect semi flush mount ceiling light.

Amount of wattage needed:

• Your specific NUVO semi flush mount light model will provide the maximum number of wattage that is intended for the fixture.
• The size of your fixture will play a role in determining the maximum amount of wattage it can consume. Therefore, you should consider the size of the room when selecting your NUVO semi flush mount ceiling light.

Amount of voltage:

• The amount of voltage within the fixture should not be too high or too low to avoid damage to the inner workings of the light.
• NUVO flush mount ceiling lights can occupy a median range of 110-120V, which is the standard recommendation for indoor ceiling lights.

Style and purpose of the fixture:

• Nuvo has several style types to choose from that are ideal for both modern and traditional interior spaces.
• Additionally, there are several types of finishes available to match your décor from antique brass and bronze to matte black and white.

Room Size:

• To determine the overall size of your space, add the width and length of the room together and convert the sum into inches.
• Consider the height of the ceiling. Experts recommend semi flush mount lights for ceiling heights of 8ft or lower to provide a closer range of light versus placing the fixture on a higher ceiling where illumination may not be as effective.

Traditional and transitional are two different types of aesthetic styles that NUVO features for their semi flush mount light fixtures. The designs are made to correspond with the type of style within your space.

• Traditional décor features ornate designs inspired by 17th century European homes. Key features of this style include heavy drapery, rich tones and bold patterns. Spaces that feature this design typically have more elegant furnishings.
• Transitional décor utilizes neutral tones and contemporary design throughout the space. It is popular for transitional spaces to have several different wood textures paired with modern or minimal furnishings.

Depending on your selected model type, your NUVO semi flush mount fixture will come with the required screws and other accessories needed for installation.

For most fixtures, the mounting hardware and additional wiring will need to be connected to the ceiling before installing the rest of the light.

Semi flush mount systems usually have a base that needs to be attached in order to suspend the fixture from the ceiling.

Once all parts have been correctly connected, the light bulb and shade can be attached if your light fixture requires it.

NUVO LED light fixtures that are Damp Rated can be installed in moist locations if they have no direct exposure to water. This means that locations with large water sources that can build condensation in the room such as bathtubs and showers can have lights with this rating installed.

In this case, semi flush mount light fixtures can be installed in a bathroom if they are Damp Location rated or Wet Location rated.
