Choosing the Right Antique Ceiling Light Fixture
If you’re ready to get antique ceiling lights to illuminate/decorate your home, here are some tips to help you get suitable ones.
Consider the Size
If you’re replacing your old ceiling lights, you sure want to get the exact size of your old lights. The exactness may not apply to the entire light fixture body but the mounting surface so that the new light fixture can fit in correctly. So you need to know the dimensions of your existing light and match it with the new ones you want to acquire.
On the other hand, if you’re installing the lights in a new home, the size may be less insignificant but you have to consider the type of ceiling you have. There are specific ceiling light fixtures for flat, sloped, or vaulted ceilings, so only go for the ones that fit your ceiling type.
Style
Though illumination is considered, antique lights are mostly used for decorations. So you want to choose styles that match other furniture in your home. This implies that you have to consider the color, shape, and overall design.
Antique ceiling lights are available in different styles such as chandeliers, pendant lights, flush mount lights, and semi flush mount lighting. You can choose any style that fits your home décor.
Accessories
Your light fixtures require bulbs, switches, and perhaps dimmers to function effectively. Based on your preference, you want to consider:
The type of bulb
Different antique ceiling lights use different light bulbs. If you’re looking to get a light fixture that uses LED bulbs, you need to check if the fixture supports LED bulbs before you buy. Some fixtures may support both LEDs, CFL, incandescent, halogen, etc. It’s best to check the bulb types and wattage to see if it meets your needs.
Dimmers
Still based on your preference, if you want antique light fixtures compatible with dimmable bulbs and dimmer switches, check to see if the feature is available before you buy.
Safety
Some lights fixtures come with UL approval and other relevant bodies. So you want to check to see if the fixture is UL listed or approved by other relevant organizations. However, you can still determine lighting safety based on the voltage. And also use bulbs with the recommended voltage for indoor and outdoor lighting. Learn more about suitable voltage for outdoor/indoor lighting here.
