Light close to ceiling is a term used to describe a very bright light in the middle of a dark room. The light may be coming from your living room lamp or it may be caused by a light fixture with too close to the ceiling. Light close to ceiling is often caused by lighting fixtures not recessed into walls, but rather sitting directly over the top of the lit area. Because light fixtures have moveable arms, there’s often no way for them to avoid contact with fixtures above them when they’re installed without consideration for other lighting fixtures in their proximity.

Tips on how to install a light close to ceiling

1. First, measure the distance between your fixture and each light switch. Make sure that your light fixture isn’t too close to the ceiling. If it is, move it down so that it’s a little below or above this measurement.

2. If your light is too close to the ceiling, you can remove it and have it re-installed in a new location closer to the center of your room.

3. You can also purchase flexible arms that will allow you to move your fixture away from the ceiling to avoid unwanted contact with lights installed above it. This will require that you cut a small notch into the top of your light fixture in order to gain access to the screws holding it to the ceiling.

4. If you’re installing new fixtures, check the distance between the ceiling of your room and each light switch. Then make sure that your new light is installed in a location that will not interfere with any other lights in your room. Making sure everything’s in an ideal position before hanging lights so they’re not too close to the ceiling is important to ensure good lighting throughout your home or office.

5. If you need really bright, spotlights clearly aimed at a particular area of a room, a recessed halogen spotlight may be what you need for this purpose. They provide a concentrated beam of light which means there are no shadows or clutter for less than perfect installation locations either overhead or on the wall.
