Details
Mounting Type: All flush mount ceiling lights are designed for direct installation onto a standard ceiling junction box. The fixture’s base rests closely against the ceiling, making it ideal for low-clearance areas.
Dimming: Most models with standard bulb sockets are dimmable. Integrated LED options are typically non-dimmable. For dimmer compatibility or questions, Contact Us.
Ceiling Type: Flush mounts are intended for flat ceilings only. For vaulted or sloped ceilings, consider semi-flush or pendant alternatives.
Power Source: All fixtures are hardwired and connect directly to your home’s electrical system.

Installation Steps
Step 1: Turn Off Power
Shut off the power to your ceiling light circuit at the breaker panel. Use a voltage tester to ensure the power is fully disconnected before continuing.
Step 2: Remove the Fixture Cover
Most flush mount lights include a removable outer shade or base cover. Carefully twist or unclip it to expose the mounting plate and wiring compartment.
Step 3: Install the Mounting Bracket
Attach the mounting bracket (included with your fixture) to the ceiling junction box using the supplied screws. Ensure it’s secure and aligned.
Step 4: Connect the Wiring
Match the fixture’s wires with the wires from your ceiling:
- Black (live/hot) to black
- White (neutral) to white
- Green or bare (ground) to the house ground wire or ground screw
Secure the connections with wire nuts, and gently tuck the wires into the junction box.
Step 5: Attach the Fixture Base
Lift the fixture base into place and align it with the mounting bracket. Secure it with the provided screws, ensuring it sits flush and evenly against the ceiling.
Step 6: Reattach the Cover
Once the base is mounted, reattach the decorative cover or diffuser according to the fixture’s design. This may involve twisting, clipping, or securing it with small fasteners.
Step 7: Restore Power and Test
Return to the breaker panel and turn the power back on. Use your wall switch to confirm that the fixture is functioning properly.
Important Tips
- Ideal for standard or low ceilings, perfect for hallways, bedrooms, and closets.
- Always confirm that your ceiling junction box can support the fixture’s weight.
- Follow local electrical codes and safety guidelines during installation.
- When in doubt, consult a licensed electrician.
