Oyster Lights

What is an Oyster Light?

An oyster light (also called a surface mount ceiling light) is a light fitting that is installed flush with the ceiling. The name is derived from the fact that most oyster lights are round, with a gentle bulge in the middle, so that they look like upside down oysters. Oyster lights are a great option for shoppers looking for very lost cost lighting.

Oyster Lights Tips

• Oyster lights are particularly well suited for small rooms and rooms with low ceilings.
• Oyster lights are also used in cupboards and closets.
• If you are installing a row of oysters, then as a rule of thumb space  them about 2.5 to 3 metres apart.
• Oyster lights create diffuse, reflected light without glare.
• The disadvantage of oyster lights is that they have almost no design value so will not enhance the aesthetics of a room.
