The mention of ceiling lights brings about different images to everybody’s minds. The reason is because the term ‘ceiling lights’ is such a broad term with such a wide range of options that falls within it. In general, ceiling light can refer to any light source that originates from the ceiling to illuminate the space below. Ever walked into any lighting store and you might find yourself quickly overwhelmed and lost with so many choices? We size up ceiling lights into a few categories with the rooms and styles they suit the best.

Flush Ceiling Lights
As the name implies, the flush ceiling light is designed to look as if completely level or even to the ceiling. Usually round with an outer rim, the light is located within the rim. The outer rim can come in different styles and colours, accounting for the overall appearance and appeal. The simplicity and good illumination function of the flush ceiling light makes it suitable for kitchen or study rooms. Square shaped flush ceiling lights can look quite chic and can be considered for the bedroom.

Semi Flush Ceiling Lights
Hanging down slightly from the ceiling, this is a mixture between low hung lights and flush ceiling lights. They are perfect for homes with ceilings that are not particularly high, or for small spaces which is common in Singapore. As with hanging lights, flushmount or semi flush ceiling lights are great for living rooms, dining rooms and bedrooms.

Chandeliers
This is an all-time favorite with homeowners for its elegance and classic look. With the diversity in designs now, the range stretches from mini 3-lights chandeliers to three tier 21-lights chandeliers. There are tons of options for chandeliers such as antique, contemporary, glass, crystal, tiffany styled and wrought iron. Whatever the style of your home, there is bound to be a matching chandelier if you look around hard enough. Best for living rooms and dining rooms.

Glass Pendant Lights
Designed to hang down low, pendant lights look fabulous in dining rooms with their tone of soft lighting. The actual glass pendant comes in many sizes, styles and shapes so that there is a matching pendant light for various dining furniture and designs. Generally, pendant lights are crafted in bold and bright colours and widely used in modern and contemporary interior designs.

Recessed Lighting & Spotlights
Recessed lightings (or known as can lights) are installed directly into the ceiling while spotlights are mounted onto the ceiling. Such lightings are usually used to illuminate a particular area or item, and can be installed anywhere in in the house.

Decorative Ceiling Lightings
Used solely for style and decorative purposes, they come in a wide range of sizes, shapes and forms like flush, semi flushed and hanging. Decorative ceiling lights can be placed anywhere to complement the interior design of the house.
