A 6-inch flush mount ceiling light in polished brass with a frosted glass squat ball and clear bottom, ideal for hallways, bathrooms, and powder rooms.
This Nuvo Lighting fixture brings traditional charm with its polished brass finish and distinctive squat ball glass shape. The clear bottom allows light to shine downward while the frosted glass diffuses it softly, creating a warm and inviting glow. Perfect for low-ceiling spaces where a semi-flush or pendant would hang too low.
Best for
- Hallways and corridors 3-4 ft wide, providing ambient light every 6-8 ft
- Bathrooms and powder rooms with 8 ft ceilings, mounted over a vanity or in the center of the room
- Small entryways and mudrooms where a compact, low-profile light is needed
- Closets and laundry rooms requiring a damp-rated fixture
- Kitchens with low ceilings, used as supplementary ambient lighting over a sink or prep area
Not ideal for
- Large living rooms or open-concept spaces needing high lumen output - this is an accent/ambient light, not a primary room light
- Spaces with ceilings over 10 ft - the fixture may appear too small
- Outdoor uncovered areas - rated for damp locations only, not wet locations
How bright is it?
Lumen output depends on the bulb used (not included). With a standard 60W incandescent bulb, expect approximately 800 lumens - similar to a traditional table lamp, suitable for ambient lighting in small to medium rooms. For brighter light, use an LED equivalent (9-12W) which can deliver 800-1100 lumens.
Light color and feel
The fixture itself does not determine color temperature - choose a bulb between 2700K (warm white) and 3000K (soft white) for a cozy, inviting atmosphere that complements the polished brass finish. The frosted glass with clear bottom provides a mix of diffused and direct light, reducing harsh shadows.
Sizing and fit
Overall dimensions: 5 in diameter x 5.5 in height. The compact size fits comfortably on ceilings as low as 7 ft. The backplate is approximately 4.5 in wide, covering a standard 4 in junction box.
