Generation Lighting Jett Semi-Flush Mount Ceiling Fixture
Our Jett semi-flush mount brings architectural presence to ceilings with limited clearance. The open cage silhouette frames a single Edison-style bulb, creating shadow patterns that add depth and visual interest to any space.
The Generation Lighting Jett semi-flush mount features welded steel bars arranged in an open geometric cage. We powder-coat the entire frame in matte black for scratch resistance and a uniform appearance that won’t chip or fade over time.
Bulb Compatibility & Light Output
The medium E26 socket accepts any standard household bulb up to 60 watts. We recommend LED bulbs rated at 800–1000 lumens for optimal brightness in spaces up to 120 square feet. For warmer ambiance in bedrooms or hallways, choose bulbs with 2700K color temperature.
The open cage design performs best with globe or Edison-style bulbs that enhance the fixture’s vintage-industrial aesthetic. Clear glass bulbs showcase visible filaments, while frosted options diffuse light more evenly across the room. Avoid directional floods or spotlights — this fixture is engineered for omnidirectional ambient illumination.
Installation Requirements
This fixture mounts to a standard octagonal or round junction box rated for at least 50 pounds. The included crossbar and mounting screws accommodate most residential ceiling boxes. Total installed weight is 3.2 pounds, well within safe load limits for properly secured junction boxes.
Wiring connects via standard push-in terminals: black (hot), white (neutral), and green ground wire. If your ceiling box lacks a ground wire, consult a licensed electrician before proceeding. The canopy conceals all wiring and hardware once installation is complete.

Questions About the Jett Semi-Flush Mount
The fixture is rated for bulbs up to 60 watts. We recommend LED bulbs in the 800–1000 lumen range for optimal performance and energy efficiency. The medium E26 socket accepts any standard household bulb shape, including A19, globe, or Edison-style filament bulbs.
Higher-wattage incandescent bulbs will work but generate more heat and consume more energy. Always ensure your bulb choice stays within the 60W maximum to avoid overheating the socket and voiding the warranty.
This model is designed for flat ceiling installation only. The included mounting hardware does not accommodate angled or vaulted ceilings. If you have a sloped ceiling, consider a pendant fixture with an adjustable canopy or a recessed lighting solution instead.
For flat ceilings with textured surfaces like popcorn or knockdown finishes, the 4.5-inch canopy provides adequate coverage to conceal the junction box and create a clean finished appearance.
The fixture is UL-listed for dry indoor locations only. It is not rated for damp or wet environments like bathrooms with showers, covered porches, or outdoor installations. Moisture exposure can corrode electrical components and compromise the powder-coat finish.
For bathrooms, we recommend fixtures specifically rated for damp locations with sealed glass shades that protect internal wiring from steam and humidity.
The Jett extends 8.5 inches from the ceiling, plus the length of your chosen bulb. A standard A19 bulb adds approximately 4 inches, resulting in 12.5 inches total drop. For an 8-foot ceiling, this leaves 83.5 inches of clearance above the floor — sufficient for normal traffic patterns.
If you have lower ceilings or plan to use decorative oversized bulbs, measure your specific bulb length and add 8.5 inches to calculate total fixture height before purchasing.
No, bulbs are sold separately to give you flexibility in choosing color temperature, brightness, and bulb style. We recommend LED bulbs for the best combination of energy efficiency and longevity.
Most customers pair the Jett with either clear Edison-style filament bulbs for vintage appeal or frosted A19 bulbs for more diffused ambient light. Both styles perform equally well in the open cage design.
Yes, the Jett works with standard single-pole, three-way, or four-way switch configurations. The fixture itself does not have built-in switching — all control happens at the wall switch. If you wire the fixture to a three-way circuit, you can control it from multiple locations in your home.
For dimming functionality, replace at least one of your switches with a compatible dimmer and use a dimmable bulb. Standard three-way dimmers are widely available at hardware stores and home improvement centers.
Installation requires a Phillips screwdriver, wire strippers, and a voltage tester to confirm power is off. The included hardware fits most standard junction boxes without additional adapters. Optional tools that simplify the process include a ladder or step stool, needle-nose pliers for wire connections, and electrical tape.
If your existing fixture used a different mounting system, you may need to install a new crossbar — the necessary hardware is included with the Jett. Most homeowners complete installation in 30–45 minutes.
