A 12-inch semi-flush mount light with a mercury glass globe, finished in brushed satin nickel, for hallways, bedrooms, and covered porches.
The Athens semi-flush mount brings an industrial-modern look to any space. Its mercury glass shade has a reflective, vintage-inspired finish that adds depth and character. The brushed satin nickel frame and canopy are crafted from steel and cast brass, ensuring durability and a timeless appeal. This fixture works well in a variety of settings, from entryways to dining areas.
Best for
- Hallways and entryways with 8-9 ft ceilings, providing ambient light
- Bedrooms and living rooms, mounted as a central light source
- Covered porches and patios, thanks to its damp-rated construction
- Kitchens and breakfast nooks, adding a vintage-industrial accent
- Stairwells and landings, where a low-profile fixture is needed
Not ideal for
- Bathrooms with direct shower exposure - this fixture is damp-rated, not wet-rated
- Outdoor areas without overhead cover, as it is not rated for wet locations
- Rooms with ceilings under 7 ft, as the fixture hangs 14.88 inches
How bright is it?
Brightness depends on the bulb you choose. This fixture uses one medium-base (E26) bulb, not included. For a warm, inviting glow, we recommend a 60W equivalent LED or vintage-style ST64 bulb. Lumen output is not specified by the manufacturer, but with a standard bulb, it will provide ample ambient light for medium-sized rooms.
Light color and feel
The mercury glass shade diffuses light softly, creating a warm, ambient glow. The color temperature will depend on the bulb you select - a 2700K-3000K bulb will produce a cozy, golden light that flatters wood tones and neutral palettes. The shade's reflective coating adds a subtle shimmer, enhancing the vintage feel.
Sizing and fit
This semi-flush mount measures 11.75 inches in diameter and 14.88 inches in height. It is ideal for rooms with standard 8-9 ft ceilings. The canopy is 4.5 inches in diameter, and the fixture weighs just 2.7 lbs, making it easy to install on standard junction boxes.
