How do I choose the right ceiling light for my room?

How do I choose the right ceiling light for my room? Read four items on the spec sheet: lumens, color temperature, whether it is dimmable, and whether the light is a sealed LED or a socket. Match the mount to the ceiling height. The numbers in this guide are common lighting practice, not a lab test of a 51lighting product.

How to decide

1. On an 8-foot ceiling, choose a flush mount.
2. Size diameter from room length plus width in feet.
3. Add task light where you cook, read, or use a mirror.
