NUVO Lighting 60-6009 1-Light, 12in, Flush Mount, Twist and Lock with Alabaster Glass, Color retail packaging

It takes a single A19 lamp with an E26 medium screw base, rated up to 60W at 120V. No bulb ships with the fixture, so order lamps separately. Dimming depends entirely on the lamp you install, not the fixture, so if you need it dimmable you need a dimmable LED or incandescent A19 on a compatible dimmer.

Bathrooms and laundry rooms are fine. The 60-6009 is an indoor fixture with a damp location rating, which covers enclosed humid spaces but not an exposed exterior location. For a covered porch you want a fixture rated for wet locations; a damp rating assumes no direct water contact.

The fixture is 11.5 inches in diameter and projects 4.5 inches down from the ceiling. That drop is shallow enough for low basement and hallway ceilings where a semi-flush or pendant would be in the way. The alabaster glass shade itself measures D:8.59 H:3.00.

The fixture carries a cETLus safety listing, which covers both US and Canadian requirements, and it is RoHS compliant. Note it is flagged under California Prop 65 for lead, which matters if you are specifying into a California property.

The glass on the 60-6009 twists onto the steel ceiling pan and locks in place rather than being held by three thumbscrews or a finial. For a property manager relamping dozens of units, that means no loose hardware to drop or lose at the ladder, and one person can get the shade off and back on with a bulb in the other hand. It mounts directly to the ceiling box.

The 60-6009 is built in brushed nickel with an alabaster glass shade, in a traditional style. It is the only finish this model is offered in, so if your other openings are oil rubbed bronze or white you will not get a match from this part number.

At 2.23 lbs the fixture is well under the 50 lb limit a standard ceiling outlet box supports, so no bracing or fan-rated box is needed. The housing is steel and mounts to the ceiling.
