SAFAVIEH Lighting Collection Clara Gold 16-inch Diameter Semi Flush Mount Ceiling Light Fixture (LED Bulbs Included)

Entryway or Hallway

Light fixtures should comfortably clear the thresholds of any adjacent doors, walls, and the heads of all family members!

Leave a minimum of 7′ from the floor to the bottom of the fixture, and 4′ from the widest part of the fixture to any surrounding wall. Add 2.5” to 3” of height for each additional foot of ceiling above 8’.

Dining Table

Selecting a fixture for over your dining table is all about proportion. We recommend that the diameter of the fixture should be no more than ½ to 2/3 the length of the table.

Designer Tip: Leave approximately 33″- 34″ between the bottom of your fixture and the surface of your dining table. The width of your fixture should be at least 6″ from each side of the edge of the table.

Kitchen Island or Counter

We recommend installing ceiling fixtures 30″- 36″ from the surface of your kitchen island to the bottom of the fixture. When installing multiple fixtures, the widest part of the fixtures should be spaced a minimum of 18″ apart for optimal airflow, light spread, and visibility.

Kitchen Sink

We recommend fixtures to be hung 36”- 40” from the bottom of the fixture to the counter or sink. For kitchens with windows, be sure to center the fixture within the window.

Linear Fixture over a Surface

The key to sizing an elongated light fixture is all about proportion. We recommend selecting a fixture measuring no more than 1/2 to 2/3 the length of the table or island.

Designer Tip: The fixture should hang no more than 34” from the bottom of the fixture to the surface and at least 6” from the edge of the table to each side of the fixture. If your surface is extra-long, consider hanging two or more linear fixtures to ensure sufficient light spread.

Bar Height vs. Counter Height

For bar height, we recommend 20”- 26” from the bottom of the light. For counter height, we recommend 30”- 36” from the bottom of the light to the counter.
