Buy the 42245NI Three Light Pendant/Semi Flush Mount if you need a flexible fixture that can serve as a pendant or sit close to the ceiling.

Frequently Asked Questions
What mounting options does the 42245NI offer?
▾
The 42245NI provides dual mounting capability. Installers can suspend the unit as a full-length pendant for dramatic height, or use the semi-flush option where the fixture sits just below the ceiling, ideal for lower ceilings. The mounting hardware is included and designed for straightforward installation.
Does the fixture support LED bulbs?
▾
Yes, the 42245NI is compatible with LED, CFL or incandescent bulbs up to the recommended wattage. Using LED bulbs maximizes energy efficiency and reduces heat output while maintaining the fixture’s intended light quality. Always verify the bulb base type matches the socket specifications.
How many watts can each socket handle?
▾
Each socket on the 42245NI is rated for up to 60 watts, allowing a total maximum load of 180 watts across the three bulbs. This rating accommodates most standard LED and incandescent options while providing a safety margin for continuous operation.
Is the finish suitable for humid environments?
▾
The 42245NI features a corrosion-resistant metal finish that tolerates moderate humidity, making it appropriate for kitchens and covered patios. However, for extremely damp locations such as bathrooms with steam, a dedicated moisture-rated fixture is advisable to ensure long-term durability.
Can the fixture be dimmed with standard dimmers?
▾
The 42245NI can be dimmed when paired with compatible LED bulbs and a compatible dimmer switch. Standard incandescent dimmers may cause flicker, so using a dimmer rated for LED or a universal dimmer ensures smooth brightness control without damaging the fixture.
