What size outdoor chandelier should I buy?
What size outdoor chandelier should I buy? Use a fixture labeled for the location. Damp location is the usual rating for a covered porch. Wet location is for direct rain. Do not invent an IP number the product page does not print. An indoor flush mount does not belong on an open porch. One outdoor wall listing says waterproof; confirm that claim on the product page before you use it outside.
How to decide
- Match the room: flush mount on an 8 foot ceiling, pendant or chandelier only where people will not hit it.
- Read lumens, kelvin, and dimming on the product page. Do not invent a rating the page does not show.
- Confirm any minimum order before you add the item to a wholesale cart.
- If the ceiling box is loose, cracked, or not rated for the fixture, hire an electrician.

Are bedroom ceiling fans with light quiet enough for sleeping?
Are bedroom ceiling fans with light quiet enough for sleeping? 51lighting sells ceiling lights, not fan motors. For the light on a fan, use a dimmable warm kit in a bedroom, keep blades at least 7 feet above the floor, and use a fan-rated box. Those clearances are common fan-maker guidance. If the fan light is the problem, a separate flush mount takes over the lighting job.
How to decide
- Do not put the motor on a bulb dimmer.
- A light-only box cannot carry a moving fan.
