My builder uses Houzz Pro to plan the timeline and give detailed estimates and daily updates with photos of progress, and provide invoices at pre-agreed key points in the build. This made the whole experience much more efficient and stress-free.

    They are dropped ceiling cans. We painted them. Most lighting stores carry them, but you will have to have a salesperson help you. They are not usually on display, as they are no longer popular (though very popular in the 50's!)

    Thanks! I'm doing a retro kitchen and it seems like the perfect "over the sink" light.
  • 10 years ago

    Do these lights require a box installed in the ceiling? or is the whole mechanism above the surface?

    These are line voltage fixtures. They utilize a standard ceiling junction and do not require a transformer.
