Know before you buy
The metal plates act as louvers that diffuse the light, creating a soft, ambient glow rather than a direct, harsh beam. This design choice helps reduce glare while casting a gentle, atmospheric light across the room.
No, the Delta Surface Mount is not dimmable. It is designed to provide a consistent, steady light output.
Yes, because this is a hardwired fixture, we recommend professional installation by a licensed electrician to ensure it is safely and correctly mounted to your ceiling.
The unlacquered brass finish is a living metal that will develop a unique patina over time, reflecting its environment and age. The matte black finish offers a consistent, modern, and high-contrast look that remains stable in appearance.
The Delta Surface Mount is primarily designed for dry interior spaces. We do not recommend installing it in bathrooms or areas with high humidity, as moisture can affect the metal finish and internal components.
With an 18-inch diameter, this fixture makes a significant visual statement. Ensure your ceiling height allows for the fixture's profile, as it is designed to be a prominent, sculptural element in the room.
