This orb sputnik is characterized by a retro flair. Outstretched arms are punctuated with clear glass globes. Combine that with a vintage-style filament bulb to complete the look. This semi-flush mount ceiling light is ideal for hallways, living rooms, bedrooms, entranceways, or utility rooms. Dimensions: Note: This light is not damp rated. Whether it is dimmable or not depends on the light bulb not on the light fixture itself. If you use dimmable light bulb and a dimmer switch, it will be dimmable. This fixture does need to be hard wired. Assembly is required. Professional installation is recommended. This light cannot be installed on a sloped or vaulted ceiling.
