Gregory’s Light Bulb

Go into almost any home or office and you’re likely to see something that is so commonplace that,well…you may not even notice it. What we’re talking about is the omnipresent flush mount light hanging in the middle of almost every ceiling across America. The flush mount tends to be a rather plain fixture, trying to stay out of the spotlight, ironically enough, with its basic round shape and complete lack of any original design. The blandness inherent in so many ceiling light fixtures made us go out and find some flush mounts that have some originality without being too contemporary so that they can fit in homes with traditional decor. Nulco Lighting has exactly what we were looking for with their collection of traditional flush mounts that are “not so” traditional.

For starters, we wanted to see if Nulco Lighting had a flush mount that would look right in a bedroom. As we near the holidays, many of our customers are parents looking for something other than the proverbial iPod or Wii to give to their children, so they come looking for some unique lighting for their kid’s bedroom. A popular item recently has been Nulco’s Tea Rose flush mount in a white finish.

The design of the flush mount is unmistakably beautiful and would go well no matter if your daughter is a rock princess with loud, funky posters all over her walls or an art geek with neatly arranged prints of Matisse and Monet masterpieces. The three bulbs allow for proper illumination that isn’t too overbearing. Finally, the price is low enough so that you don’t have to feel like you made a long-term investment on your daughter’s lighting despite the fact she’ll probably be out of the house in a few years.

The next flush mount we wanted to see was something that could really add a depth of excitement to a living room; a dash of luxury and maybe even a touch of royalty - we found exactly that with Nulco’s Ottoman flush mount.

Many of our customers want to add a stunning lighting fixture to their living space but don’t necessarily want the long-term commitment a chandelier often requires. This flush mount from Nulco Lighting is the perfect in-between offering fantastic features including a captivating crystal and chrome finish. With its 6 bulbs, the light can be strong enough to romantically illuminate the average living space. The Ottoman flush mount by Nulco Lighting is really one of the great flush mounts. As this is more of a decorative fixture than a utility one, additional accent lighting may be required if you plan on using this for your main lighting piece in a somewhat large living room. However, we always recommend accent lighting in addition to ceiling lighting so that the overhead illumination is not so glaring.

Lastly, we wanted to find a basic but beautiful flush mount; something that sticks to basics while being unique atthe same time. Nulco Lighting has quite a few flush mounts that fit this description. The Princeton flush mount is one of them.

While remaining true to the basic flush mount design found in most homes, the Princeton flush mount adds bold charm at the same time. With a polished brass frame and an intricately designed glass globe, you get an eclectic combination of beauty, class, and normality. This flush mount looks good in just about any setting; from living room and master bedroom to guest room and bathroom. It is a high quality flush mount that serves a myriad of purposes.
