Ultra Thin LED Ceiling Light

Low ceilings are one of the hardest lighting problems in a home. A pendant is out of the question, a standard flush fitting can still hang down enough to feel in the way, and too many low rooms end up lit by a bare bulb. The Ultra Thin LED Ceiling Light is designed for exactly those rooms. It is a very slim panel that sits almost flat against the ceiling, so it takes no headroom at all while still spreading light across the whole space.

That is the purest version of what a flush mount light should be: light from the ceiling with as little fixture as possible. In basements, attic rooms, landings and older homes with low ceilings, that makes all the difference.

What makes the ultra thin panel stand out

The profile is everything. Seen from the side, the panel is almost invisible, and from below it reads as a clean, flat disc of light. There is nothing to bump into, nothing to collect dust in awkward corners, and nothing to make a low room feel lower.

The four sizes are the second strength. The 5.9 inch panel suits a closet or a small landing. The 7.1 inch panel suits a hallway. The 9.1 inch panel suits a small bedroom or a study, and the 11.8 inch panel is bright enough to be the only light in a decent sized bedroom. Each space can have a light that is correctly proportioned rather than one size forced on every room.

The light colors are the third. Warm White 3000K is soft and cozy, ideal for bedrooms and living spaces. Neutral White 4500K is balanced, a good all round choice for hallways and studies. Cold White 6500K is crisp and bright, suited to kitchens, garages and utility rooms. The body is painted aluminum with an acrylic diffuser, and the light source is integrated.

Where it looks best, room by room

• Basements. Clear light with nothing hanging down from a low ceiling.
• Attic bedrooms. A slim panel that works on a low or sloping ceiling line.
• Landings and hallways. A neat, flat light that keeps the space open.
• Closets. A small panel lights the rails without a bulky fitting.
• Kitchens and utility rooms. Cold White for bright, practical light.

Its flat, minimal look suits modern and Scandinavian homes, and it is discreet enough to disappear in a traditional home where you would rather notice the moldings than the light.

Choosing the size and placement

The panel comes in 5.9, 7.1, 9.1 and 11.8 inches. Measure the space before picking a size, and choose the one that suits the room rather than the nearest ceiling point.

• Center the panel on the room for the most even light.
• In a long hallway, use two or more smaller panels spaced evenly.
• In a bedroom, choose the 11.8 inch panel if it will be the only light.
• Use the same light color throughout connected spaces for a calm look.

It wires into a ceiling point rather than plugging in, so turn the power off at the breaker before starting and have an electrician run a supply to the spot if there is nothing there already.

Layering it with other lighting

A slim panel is the ambient layer of a room, and in a hallway or closet it is usually all you need. In a bedroom or living space, add lamps at a lower level so the room feels warmer in the evening and the ceiling light can be switched off.

Bedside lamps from the bedside lamps collection add a soft glow for reading. For other close to the ceiling fixtures with a little more character, the flush mount lights collection has styles for rooms with more headroom.

Match the light color to the room's purpose. Warm White 3000K in bedrooms and living spaces, Neutral White 4500K in hallways and studies, and Cold White 6500K in kitchens and utility rooms. Keeping each space consistent makes the whole home feel planned.

In a basement, where natural light is limited, several panels spread across the ceiling give a much more even, daylight like feel than a single fixture in the center. Neutral White 4500K works especially well there, bright enough for tasks without feeling harsh.

Because the panel is so slim, it also suits rooms where you want the ceiling itself to stay the feature, such as a room with exposed beams or a painted ceiling. The light does its job quietly, and the architecture of the room gets the attention instead of the fixture.

Is the ultra thin panel right for your space?

It is a strong fit if you:

• Have a low ceiling where normal fittings get in the way.
• Want a minimal light that almost disappears.
• Need correctly sized lights for rooms of different sizes.
• Want to choose warm, neutral or cold white light.

It is not the right choice if you want a decorative statement fixture or a dimmable light, since no dimming is listed, or for a damp space, since it should be kept away from moisture.
