Semi-flush fixture diameter smaller than ceiling opening diameter

11 years ago

Hi,
I purchased a semi-flush ceiling fixture to replace a canned light in my study. The problem is that there opening in the ceiling is 7" and the canopy of my fixture is 5 1/2". Is there a work-around this without getting into costly dry-wall repair?

Buy a flush fixture, rather than a semi flush.

A small, low-profile ceiling medallion would be another option. (Assuming the medallion has an opening smaller than 5-1/2")
