Ceiling Lights & Flush Mounts

Ceiling lights are what you specify when the slab is low, when a fan shares the room, or when a bedroom needs even light without a pendant in the middle of it. Most Mumbai flats have between 2.7 and 3 metres before a false ceiling and considerably less after, which rules out a drop fixture in the majority of bedrooms.

This section holds surface-mounted and semi-flush fittings, decorative covers, and panel-style fixtures. Where a fan and a light have to share a ceiling, a flush fitting towards the perimeter usually beats a central one that the blades will strobe across.

Colour temperature matters more here than with decorative fixtures, because a ceiling light is often the only source in the room. Warm white around 3000K suits bedrooms and living rooms; kitchens and work areas take 4000K better.
