Collection: Low Ceiling Lighting

The vast majority of contemporary build houses have lower ceiling heights than traditional builds at around 2.4m. When selecting ceiling lighting for low ceilings it is vital to take into account the height of your ceiling, for example a semi flush light fitting no deeper than approximately 38cm would work best here.

Often the chain or flex on a light fitment can be shortened however sometimes the body of the light itself may be too deep for a low ceiling. If you are in any doubt about the suitability of any light fitting for your ceiling please contact us for advice, we are happy to help.
