The Besa Sonya 17 is a flush mount ceiling light. Its glass: Satin Frost (clear pressed glass etched to diffuse the light: unlit it reads as a satin texture, lit it glows calmly) or Glitter decor glass; press-molded, so each piece is consistent. Satin Frost keeps it calm and even; Glitter adds a little sparkle when the light is on. It is sized for kitchens, living rooms, primary bedrooms and larger baths.

Order it with incandescent lamping (2 x 100W A19 medium (E26) base lamps of your choice, not included) or as the LED version, which comes with two replaceable 11W LED sources: 2200 lumens in total at 3000K, CRI 90+, rated 30,000 hours. The clip finish you choose is the color of the three decorative clips; the fitter stays white, so the clips are the accent. At 17" diameter x 5.25" H it sits close to the ceiling.

Who this is not for

• Outdoor porches, soffits or covered patios: it is rated for damp interior locations only.

• Anyone who wants a cooler, daylight-white LED: the LED version is fixed at a warm 3000K.

Why we carry it

We have been curating design-led lighting since 2009, and Sonya shows how much a few details matter: etched glass, three neat clips and a finish choice turn an everyday flush mount into something considered. Besa Lighting pairs American design with European glass craftsmanship, and every glass is hand-inspected at Besa’s factory in Ohio for color, pattern, thickness and size before it ships.

Buy once: durability and care

Switch off and let it cool, then wipe the glass with a soft cloth lightly dampened with mild soapy water and dry it; avoid abrasive cleaners (our advice). The LED sources are replaceable and rated for 30,000 hours. Installation by a licensed electrician is recommended; 90°C supply wire is required for incandescent lamping.

Frequently asked questions

What are the dimensions of the Besa Sonya 17?

It measures 17" diameter x 5.25" H, per Besa’s spec sheet. Each glass is handcrafted, so allow for slight variation.

How bright is the Besa Sonya 17 with LED lamping?

The LED version gives 2200 lumens in total at 3000K with CRI 90+ and is CL dimmable. The incandescent version takes 2 x 100W A19 medium (E26) base lamps (not included) and dims with a standard incandescent dimmer.

Satin Frost or Glitter: which Sonya 17 glass is right for me?

Satin Frost is etched clear glass: unlit it looks like soft satin and lit it gives a calm, even glow. Glitter is the decor for a bit of sparkle. Both are pressed in a mold, so the pattern is consistent from piece to piece.

Is the Besa Sonya 17 suitable for a bathroom ceiling?

Yes. Besa rates it for damp locations, interior use only, so it suits bathroom, laundry and powder-room ceilings. It is not rated for outdoor ceilings or direct water spray.

Can I change the clip color on the Sonya 17?

Choose it when you order: Satin Nickel or White clips are on our page. The fitter is white either way.

Does the Besa Sonya 17 come in other sizes?

Yes: Besa makes the same design as the Sonya 13 (13" diameter x 4.375" H). It installs to a 4" octagonal outlet box, centered on the fixture; we recommend a licensed electrician.
