Hinkley Silo 1-Light LED Small Flush Mount in Satin White

What is an Outdoor Ceiling Light?

A flush-mounted outdoor light works well attached to the ceiling of a porch or covered entry. They can also be used for a covered patio or deck area. The light is hardwired electrically to the ceiling and operated by a wall switch. It provides good ambient downward light to flood the local area, especially useful above a doorway or entrance. Being close to the ceiling/roof they allow amply head-room for people coming in and out. You may need more than one for a larger porch or wraparound deck.

LED Technology

This item features an LED light bulb. An LED (light emitting diode) bulb includes multiple small electronic diodes which each emit bright light. Each LED light uses very little wattage compared to other types of bulbs. They last far longer, typically more than 20-30,000 hours (several years), while saving significantly on electrical bills. The light output is typically bright white. LED bulbs also produce far less heat than other bulbs. Choose LED lighting for the most modern lighting technology.

All-Weather Resistant

This item features a specially applied finish, which is particularly durable in harsh weather. While all outdoor lights are designed to be safe for use in wet, hot or cold conditions, this weather-resistant light provides an extra barrier of protection. It is particularly suited for harsher weather, including the corrosive nature of salt-water near to coastlines and sea-water. The finish will last longer and keep the light protected and looking attractive. For the ultimate strength in weather resistance and longevity, this item is a great choice.

Modern Style

Contemporary and innovative, modern lighting underscores futuristic form and structure, and geometric or asymmetrical shapes. A modern lighting design instills functionality within an artfully streamlined form, radiating a reflective glow while providing clear and bright light. Modern Lighting complements a sleek, contemporary interior with straight lines, and can also create an agreeable contrast with transitional styles.

For which rooms?

For outdoor use, ceiling lights should be mounted underneath the overhang of a porch or covered deck. They could also potentially be installed in a garage.

Placement/Layering

A ceiling-mounted outdoor light fixture will shine its light downward and outward over the local area. At night this light may well spread out over a fairly large area, centered on the porch. But it may not reach to the further reaches of a yard without additional lights. You may want to pair it with some wall/garage lights.

Installed by an Electrician

An electrician or person with electrical installation knowledge will need to permanently wire the ceiling light into the building's electrical supply.
