A 12-inch semi-flush mount with a natural fiber dome shade and matte black finish, ideal for kitchens, bathrooms, and covered porches where damp-rated lighting is needed.
The Natural Ballston Dome combines farmhouse charm with practical damp-rated construction. The matte black steel and cast brass frame supports a natural fiber basketweave shade that softens light beautifully. This fixture works well in spaces that need a low-profile ceiling light with a warm, textured look.
Best for
- Kitchens with 8-9 ft ceilings, providing ambient light over a sink or island
- Bathrooms with damp-rated requirements, such as over a tub or in a shower area
- Covered porches or entryways where moisture resistance is needed
- Farmhouse, country cottage, or rustic interiors
- Hallways and mudrooms needing a compact, durable light source
Not ideal for
- Large open rooms over 15x15 ft where more light output is needed
- Outdoor areas exposed to direct rain (damp-rated, not wet-rated)
- Spaces requiring a flush mount with less than 12-inch diameter
How bright is it?
Brightness depends on the bulb used. It accepts one medium-base (E26) bulb up to 60W equivalent LED. With a 60W equivalent LED, expect about 800 lumens - enough for ambient lighting in a small to medium room. Bulb not included.
Light color and feel
Use a warm white bulb (2700K-3000K) to complement the natural fiber shade and farmhouse style. The shade diffuses light gently, creating a cozy, inviting glow. CRI not specified; choose a bulb with 90+ CRI for best color rendering.
