Different Types of Modern Ceiling Light Fixtures

Here is a quick look at some of the most common and popular types of ceiling lamps:

 

Flush Or Semi-Flush Mount Ceiling Lights

As the name suggests, this type of ceiling lights is mounted flush onto the ceiling, making it seem like the light is coming through the ceiling. Most flush-mounted ceiling lights offer direct lighting that can be adjusted depending on how big the room space is.

From traditional, elaborate designs to ultramodern and minimalistic or experimental designs, your options are endless when it comes to choosing a chandelier.

 

Pendant Lamps

Available in a wide range of shapes, sizes, material and luminosity, pendant lamps are generally well-suited to areas like your kitchen island, dining table, etc. Most of these hanging lamps provide effective downlighting and also provide the user with options to experiment in some cases.

 

Track and Rail Lights

You might have seen track lighting in modern hotels, museums and even homes. Strip lighting, as it is popularly referred to, is available in an assortment of looks and options. Track and rail lights are best for illuminating hallways, kitchens and bars.

How Do I Choose a Ceiling Light Fixture?

Well, the very first thing to do is to identify and assess your need for a ceiling lamp. The need and purpose will define the type of light fixture you need.

For example:

In case you need ambient illumination, look for a light that provides effective ambient lighting in a relatively large space

If you want it to be the focal point of the room, go for a majestic chandelier

If you need it to provide accent lighting near the wall or ceiling, pick subtle ceiling lamps that can help highlight specific parts of the room (or pieces of art)

If you need something that serves a utilitarian purpose, choosing a set of pendant lamps is your best bet

You could also let your creative juices flow and mix and match different ceiling lights together with wall sconces, floor lamps and table lamps to experiment with the kind of effect you wish to achieve.
