Bola Opal Glass Globe Wall or Ceiling Flush Light, 4 to 16 in, Dim-to-Warm

A globe that mounts straight to the wall or ceiling, in seven sizes you can mix into stair runs, hallway rows and mirror pairs.

We curate Bola Sphere Flush for layouts that need light without a drop: corridors, stair walls, vanities and low ceilings. The same opal globe goes on a wall or a ceiling, and 120-277V input means it suits both homes and commercial buildings. Small globes give pinpoint accents; the 16 in size works as a central ceiling fixture.

Best for / where to use it

• Hallways and corridors: 6 or 8 in globes at regular spacing along ceiling or wall.
• Stair walls: a staggered run of mixed sizes follows the rise without hanging into the path.
• Vanities and mirrors: one small globe each side of a mirror, in dry zones.
• Hotel rooms and lobbies: mix 4 to 16 in globes on a feature wall for a custom look from standard parts.
• Low ceilings: the 16 in globe works as a central fixture when a pendant will not clear.

Installation & planning

• Hardwired to a junction box; installation by a qualified electrician is recommended.
• Projection runs from about 5.25 in (4 in globe) to 17.25 in (16 in globe), so check wall clearance in hallways.
• Pair with TRIAC/ELV or 0-10V dimmers; DALI is on request.
• Use the 5.3 in (13.5 cm) canopy as the template when spacing a cluster.
• Keep out of shower and splash zones; no damp or wet rating is published.

Who this is not for

• Wet or damp locations: Pablo lists no rating.
• Plug-in or cordless use: it is hardwired.
• Anyone who needs a fully fixed 2700K: the light warms to 1800K as it dims.

Frequently asked questions

Which size should I use along a hallway?

The 6 in or 8 in globes are the usual choice; repeat them at even spacing. Larger globes suit wide corridors.

Can I put it on a wall and a ceiling in the same room?

Yes. The same fixture mounts to either surface, so wall and ceiling pieces match.

How far does the globe stick out?

About 5.25 in with the 4 in globe and up to 17.25 in with the 16 in globe, so measure your clearance before choosing.

Is it bright enough for a small room?

The 8 to 16 in globes give 1,710 lm each; the 4 and 5 in globes give 390 lm and work as accents.

How does it dim?

TRIAC/ELV or 0-10V dimmers; the color warms from 2700K to 1800K as it dims.

Can I use it beside a bathroom mirror?

In dry zones only. Pablo lists no damp or wet rating, so keep it out of showers and splash areas and check local code.
