Know before you buy
The Metaphor Flush Mount uses three GU24 base bulbs. Each socket supports a maximum of 13 watts.
With three bulbs and a 20-inch width, this fixture is designed to provide ample illumination for entryways, hallways, or standard-sized living areas. The frosted glass diffuser helps distribute the light evenly across the space.
This fixture requires hardwired installation. We recommend hiring a licensed electrician to ensure the fixture is safely and correctly mounted to your ceiling junction box.
The fixture has a low profile, measuring only 5 inches in height. It is an excellent choice for rooms with standard or lower ceiling heights where you want to maximize vertical space.
The glass diffuser can be wiped clean with a soft, dry cloth or a slightly damp microfiber cloth. Avoid using harsh chemical cleaners to preserve the finish of the brass and the integrity of the glass.
