A compact 6-inch semi-flush mount with a mercury glass globe, ideal for kitchens, hallways, and entryways where ceiling height is limited.
The Preston Bulb semi-flush mount brings an industrial-vintage look to any room. Its polished chrome finish and mercury glass shade diffuse light beautifully, creating a soft, ambient glow. Built from steel, cast brass, and glass, this fixture is sturdy and versatile, fitting seamlessly into modern, contemporary, or restoration-style decor.
Best for
- Kitchens with 8-9 ft ceilings, providing ambient light over sinks or prep areas
- Hallways and entryways, adding a stylish glow without taking up visual space
- Bedrooms with low ceilings, as a space-saving alternative to a pendant
- Dining nooks and breakfast areas, creating a cozy atmosphere
- Covered porches and patios, thanks to its damp-rated construction
Not ideal for
- Large rooms needing bright, task-level illumination - this is an accent light, not a primary source
- Bathrooms with direct shower exposure - damp-rated, but not wet-rated
- Spaces with ceilings under 7 ft, as the fixture hangs 12 inches
How bright is it?
Lumen output depends on the bulb you choose (not included). With a standard 60W equivalent LED bulb, expect around 800 lumens - enough for ambient lighting in a small to medium room. The mercury glass shade will soften and diffuse the light, reducing glare.
Light color and feel
The mercury glass shade gives a soft, diffused light with a slightly vintage character. For a warm, inviting glow, choose a 2700K-3000K bulb. The fixture is dimmable when used with compatible dimmable bulbs and a standard dimmer switch.
Sizing and fit
The fixture measures 6.25 inches wide and 12 inches high, with a 4.5-inch canopy. It's compact enough for low ceilings and small spaces, yet substantial enough to make a statement. The shade is 6.25 inches wide and 7.75 inches high.
