A 10-inch flush mount ceiling light with a handcrafted walnut tambour wood ring and frosted glass diffuser, designed for bedrooms and hallways seeking warm ambient light with mid-century character.
Originally designed by Peter Morelli in 1969 and inspired by the curved elegance of a rolltop desk, the Tambo flush mount brings mid-century sophistication to your ceiling. The handcrafted tambour wood ring in dark walnut and weathered brass accents create a timeless look, while the frosted glass diffuser softens and spreads warm ambient light. Ideal for compact spaces, this fixture blends form and function with contract-grade craftsmanship.
Best for
- Bedrooms 10x12 ft or larger, mounted as a primary ceiling light for soft ambient glow
- Hallways and entryways with 8-9 ft ceilings, providing warm welcome lighting
- Small living areas or reading nooks where a compact flush mount is needed
- Mid-century modern or transitional interiors seeking natural wood texture
- Spaces where smart dimmer control is desired for adjustable brightness
Not ideal for
- Bathrooms or covered outdoor areas - this fixture is rated for dry locations only
- Spaces requiring bright task lighting - the 3000 lumens provide ambient light, not focused task light
- Rooms with ceilings under 7 ft due to the 7-inch height
How bright is it?
3000 lumens - about as bright as a 200W incandescent bulb, suitable for ambient lighting in small to medium rooms. This is ample for a bedroom or hallway but may not be sufficient as the sole light source in a large living room.
Light color and feel
Adjustable color temperature from 3000K warm white to 6000K daylight - you can choose a soft golden tone similar to traditional incandescent or a cooler, energizing light. With a CRI of 90+, colors appear vibrant and accurate, ideal for spaces where you want to showcase decor or artwork. Fully dimmable with compatible dimmer switches for customized ambiance.
Sizing and fit
10 inches in diameter and 7 inches tall, this flush mount fits well in compact spaces with standard 8-9 ft ceilings. The low profile ensures it doesn't intrude into the room while providing ample light.
