munirardiFlush mount ceiling lights with pull chains may sound like a great addition to your house’s room, but you still need to consider a few things before you make a decision to buy one. Flush mount mounted fixture is an easier option compared to the recessed mount. That is why in today’s post we are going to focus on that.
Choosing the right type is important. Therefore, you need to understand the purpose of your light fixture. Do you want the light to be focused on specific task such as lighting a sink? Alternatively, perhaps you want the light as an aesthetic addition to your bedroom or kitchen.
To achieve the first purpose we mentioned above, you could use the single light fixture. The single light fixture is perfect when you want to have a single source of light that focuses on a specific area. Of course, this is not the sole purpose of the single light fixture. You can add a row of single flush ceiling lights to lighten up one side of the wall in your bedroom.
On the other hand, there is another type of flush mount ceiling lights. It is called track lighting. It is consisted of several lights installed inside an adjustable track. Usually they are used to brighten a wider area compared to the single light. For example, the food preparation area of the kitchen or reading areas are great with track lighting. However, the most simplified and popular option would be the single flush mount ceiling light.
The single flush light can use either a wall switch or a pull chain. The one to use is absolutely your choice. A pull chain adds an interesting element to the whole area, especially if you have a light with classical design.
If you have a pull chain light then you would not need a wall switch. It means that you need to have an independent installation, which allows the light to be directly connected to the house electricity. This is a great way to have a clean and neat overall design of your room. Usually the designers’ team chooses this method to avoid too much wall switch in a room (because the flush light is usually used for a specific area of the room).
We do have to remind you that you should be extra careful when you want to replace the fixture. Attempting electric wiring with a live circuit is highly dangerous. Always turn off the electrical breaker of your house before you replace an existing pull chain flush ceiling light.
Although direct electricity is usually the main option, you could still install the flush mount ceiling lights with the wall switch still attached. Usually this is an option people choose when they want to replace their wall-switched light with pull chain light, but they do not want to have a complicated electricity rearrangement. If this is the case, a simple installation is possible. All you have to do is to leave the switch in the ON position. The rest of the installation process is pretty much the same with a regular light replacement.
