NUVO Lighting 60-257 1-Light, 6in, Ceiling Mount, Alabaster Ball

It takes one standard A19 lamp with an E26 medium screw base, rated to a maximum of 60W at 120V. No bulb ships with the fixture, so order lamps separately. An LED A19 in a medium base works fine as long as you stay at or under the 60W rating; dimming depends entirely on the lamp you install, since the fixture itself has no driver.

Yes for those spots. The 60-257 is an indoor fixture with a damp location rating, which covers bathrooms, laundry rooms, covered breezeways and similar areas that see humidity but no direct water. It is not wet rated, so skip it for open exterior soffits, shower enclosures directly over the head, or anywhere it can be sprayed.

It carries a cULus safety listing, valid for both US and Canadian installations, and the fixture is RoHS compliant. One note for procurement: California Prop 65 identifies lead as a chemical present, which matters if your facility requires Prop 65 disclosure on submittals.

The canopy and body are steel in a brushed nickel finish, with a single alabaster glass ball shade. Alabaster is an opal white diffusing glass, so the lamp reads as soft and even rather than as a visible filament. That combination is a common standardization choice across apartment closets and utility rooms where you want one fixture repeated on many openings.

The 60-257 is a close-to-ceiling flush mount, ceiling mounted only. There is no stem, chain, or downrod option, so it cannot be hung as a pendant or sloped off a swivel. If the job calls for a drop, you need a different fixture type.

Yes. The fixture is built around incandescent technology, meaning there is no integrated LED module or driver, just a medium screw socket. Any E26 A19 LED retrofit lamp drops right in, and because the fixture has no driver of its own, an enclosed-rated LED is the safer pick inside the glass ball. Whether it dims is determined by the lamp and the wall control, not the fixture.
