Finding the Right Outdoor Flush Mount Ceiling Lights

Whether you're remodeling or simply giving your home an upgrade, now is the perfect time to give your exterior spaces some much-needed attention with new outdoor ceiling lights. Flush mount porch lights come in multiple styles, sizes and designs to easily integrate with your existing design scheme.

Create a warm ambiance on your porch, deck or patio with ceiling mount porch lights that enhance the look and function of your outside spaces. When choosing flush outdoor ceiling lights, pay attention to these features to make the right decision for you:

Wet-Rated vs. Damp-Rated Fixtures

The UL (Underwriters Laboratories) rating of an outdoor flush mount light fixture is an important factor to consider. Think about the design scheme of the areas where you plan to install new lighting. For exposed exterior spaces, such as exposed decks, gazebos, verandas and pergolas, wet-rated exterior flush mount lights are designed to safely stand up to the elements. On the other hand, in partially exposed areas like carports, covered patios and screened porches, damp-rated fixtures are made to hold up to certain levels of moisture and humidity.

Popular Styles of Outdoor Ceiling Lights

When defining the style of your home's exterior, stick with an aesthetic that maintains a cohesive look with the rest of your home. Use the following information to help you differentiate between some of the most popular styles of outdoor flush mount ceiling lights:

• Traditional: Traditional-style ceiling mount porch lights are often designed with antique brass, polished brass or basic black finishes. These outdoor flush mount lights are typically made with attention to detail and include features like curved lines and intricate motifs like seeded glass inserts. 
• Modern and Contemporary: Modern and contemporary styles of exterior flush mount lights may incorporate minimalist design elements like matte black, weathered pewter or brushed nickel finishes with simple lines and stark angles. 
• Transitional: An ideal balance between traditional and contemporary styles, transitional flush outdoor ceiling lights are elegant enough to integrate with grand homes and sleek enough to blend in well with clean, modern homes. 

Determine the Ideal Light Placement

When deciding on the ideal placement of your exterior flush mount light, keep the goal of bringing attractive style to your home while saving overhead space. Flush outdoor ceiling lights mount flush or semi-flush to entryways, patios or porches. These low-profile fixtures often have smaller diameters than wall-mounted lighting fixtures but still provide an adequate amount of light.

To find the fixture size you'll need for your space, multiply the width of your doorframe by .25 if you have a single door or by .33 if you have double doors. When installing ceiling mount porch lights, maintain at least a six-inch clearance from the top of the doorframe.
