Besa Paco 12 Opal Stone Glass LED Flush Mount

Only 3 inches deep, with a band of glass textured like cut sandstone: a low ceiling light that still looks handcrafted.

• ✓ Only 3" deep
• ✓ Fused stone-texture glass
• ✓ 1500 lm LED included
• ✓ Dimmable
• ✓ Damp rated
• ✓ 2 glass choices

Paco 12 is a low-profile flush mount from Besa Lighting whose diffuser is three pieces of glass fused together: a polished opal top, a band of clear or smoke blown glass with a coarse sandstone texture like cut rock, and a flat white glass base. Lit, the opal glows softly while the textured band catches and scatters the light around the edge.

An integrated 16W LED is built in (1500 lumens, 3000K, CRI 85+, rated 30,000 hours) and it is dimmable. At 12 inches across and 3 inches deep it suits low ceilings, and you can choose a clear or a smoke stone band.

Best for

Bedrooms, hallways, bathrooms, kitchens and home offices, especially rooms with low or standard ceilings where a deep fixture would feel heavy. Clear Stone sparkles in bright rooms; Smoke Stone adds a moody, mineral edge. Related: Paco 19 (larger), Geo 11 opal flush mount, Tango 15 flush mount.

Who this is not for

• Outdoor ceilings: it is rated for damp interior locations only.
• Anyone who wants to choose their own bulbs: the LED is integrated.
• Large living rooms that need one big fixture; see the larger Paco 19 linked above.

Why we carry it

We have been curating design-led lighting since 2009, and Paco shows what fused, textured glass can do in a slim flush mount, a detail you rarely find at this depth. Besa Lighting pairs American design with European glass artisanship: its shades are hand-blown by skilled artisans using techniques passed down for generations, then hand-inspected at Besa’s factory in Ohio for color, pattern, thickness and size before they ship.

Buy once: durability and care

Switch off and let it cool, then dust the glass with a soft dry cloth; for a deeper clean, wipe the opal with a damp cloth and use a soft brush on the textured band (our advice). The LED is integrated. Installation by a licensed electrician is recommended.
