Striking Ceiling Lights for All Rooms!

Despite task lights, accent lights, and floor lamps, you’ll need a complementing ceiling light to enhance the overall appeal of any room. Being commonly used as a source of general illumination, ceiling lighting is a key factor in enhancing your home decor. A remarkable plus of ceiling lights is their versatility – fix them in any room and they’ll go with the decor so well.



Each room has a unique mood and the ceiling lighting fixture must balance it. Your choice of ceiling light should be flawless, which means you should know the basic types and their functions before picking one. Here are a few ideas to guide you with your selection.

Flush and semi Flush Lights: These lights are ideal for low ceilings. These two lights are similar to each other. However, semi flush mounts extend a few inches beyond the ceiling while flush mounts remain unseen.

Pendant Lights: Pendant lighting has become a sign of modern elegance. They hang from the ceiling and are used to provide task illumination. Commonly used as island lights in the kitchen, pendant lighting fixtures are also great for decorating your foyer or dining hall. You can have multiple pendant lights (preferably in odd numbers) in the kitchen and dining hall for extra appeal.

Chandeliers: They are the most celebrated ceiling lighting fixtures ever. Chandeliers are also similar to pendant lights, but come with arms and other embellishments. You can get them in few or multiple arms according to your preference. A very basic tip you need to remember while choosing a chandelier is the size. The size (both height and width) should be in line with the size of your room. They are available in classic, transitional, and modern styles.

Down lighting/Spot Lighting: Ideal for lighting up narrow spaces such as lobbies or hallways, down lights are one of the modern ceiling lights. They cast light directly beneath and add a tinge of style to slender spaces. Spot lights are similar to down lights, the only difference being their functionality. They can be used to highlight a particular part of the room.

There are many other types of ceiling lighting fixtures like track lighting, recessed lighting, and panel lighting. Choose the ceiling fixture with the size, light requirements, and theme of your room in mind. GoldenAgeUSA.com is a one-stop online shop for all your lighting needs.

Lighting Gift Ideas


Still searching for unique gift ideas for the holidays?  Here are a couple of more ideas to follow-up on our first post.  Unlike barbecue lights and LED mini lanterns, these ideas require some installation – although that can always be part of the gift!




The photo on the right is from one of our customers who installed the kit in his daughter’s nursery.  He even added in constellations to make it more realistic!  Once installed, the star ceiling is absolutely captivating, and it’s a unique gift for a bedroom, home theater room, bathroom, dining room, etc.




For deck stairs, indoor stairs, or to align the edges of a patio floor, the step light kit is a neat gift.  First of all, it has sound-to-light technology that will enable the color changes to synchronize with music playing.  Second, there are seven colors to set on flow mode (colors alternate at your choice of speed) or pause mode (step lights maintain the color of your choice).
