Marnau Tascon Flush Mount

Three lights sit in a 15-inch hammered-glass drum. Hardwired, flush to the ceiling, and damp-rated, it takes standard E26 bulbs and works on a dimmer.

The fixture holds three bulbs behind curved hammered-glass panels, 15 inches across. Light comes through the texture as a soft wash, so the room reads lit without a cluster of bare lamps in view.

• Curved glass, gapped panels

  Curved panels of clear hammered glass wrap the drum with small gaps between them, held by a matte black frame with one bar crossing the center. The rippled texture breaks up the view through the glass instead of showing a smooth, flat surface.

• Rippled light, not flat

  The hammered texture scatters each bulb's light into a rippled, uneven pattern rather than one smooth glow, so the ceiling above and the room below both catch broken light instead of a flat wash. All three bulbs stay visible through the gaps between panels.

• Hardwired, flush to the ceiling

  This fixture mounts flush against the ceiling and is hardwired into a junction box there, so it needs an electrician rather than a plug-in lamp. Assembly is required to fit the glass panels into the frame before the whole thing goes up.

• Fixed low profile, no chain

  Unlike a hanging pendant, this sits flush with no chain or rod, so overall height from the ceiling is fixed at 6.88 inches. That low profile fits a hallway, closet, laundry room, or bathroom where a lower ceiling would put a hanging fixture too close to head height.

• Standard bulbs, not included

  Each of the three sockets is a standard E26 medium base, 60 watts max, and bulbs are not included. Because the glass panels leave gaps at the seams, the bulbs stay partly visible, so a clear or vintage bulb looks better than a frosted one. It is dimmer compatible, but that still takes a dimmable bulb and a separate dimmer switch.

• Damp-rated, not wet-rated

  This fixture carries a damp rating, a step up from dry-rated, so it can go in a bathroom outside direct shower spray or on a covered porch. A damp rating is still not a wet rating, so keep it out of a shower stall or anywhere it could take direct water.

• Wipe the glass, dust the frame

  Wipe the black frame and the hammered glass with a dry cloth to clear dust from the textured surface, and use a barely damp cloth for anything that does not lift with dry dusting. Turn the fixture off and let the bulbs cool before you dust close to a socket.

• Ships as parts, no bulbs

  The frame, canopy, and hammered glass panels arrive ready to assemble before mounting; bulbs are not included, and neither is a dimmer switch if you want the fixture on one. Plan on an electrician for the hardwired connection once assembly is done.

Good to know

• The drum is 15 inches wide and 6.88 inches tall; measure the ceiling box it will cover.
• Flush mount, no downrods. Overall height is 6.88 inches from the ceiling.
• Damp-rated for a bath or covered porch; it is not a wet-location fixture.
