Moonlight Flush Mount – Burlap by Nova of California

The Moonlight Flush Mount wraps a soft, domed LED light in a natural burlap drum, so a hallway or bedroom gets warm texture and plenty of light without a fixture hanging into the room.

Nova of California sizes it at 16.5 in across and 3.7 in high. A built-in 36W LED module gives 5,580 lumens through a domed diffuser that spreads the light evenly and cuts glare. It dims from a wall dimmer, and you set the color temperature on the module while you install it.

Where it works best

Nova suggests bedrooms, hallways, entryways and cozy living areas, and its 16.5 in drum covers medium to large rooms. The burlap suits modern, coastal, boho and transitional rooms. It mounts to a standard ceiling junction box.

Who this is not for

This is not for anyone who wants a dramatic hanging fixture or a sleek metal look; it is a soft fabric drum that hugs the ceiling. It is also not a plug-in light: it must be hardwired, and the LED module is built in rather than taking a standard bulb.

Why we carry Nova of California

Nova’s story starts in 1923, and the company now designs from Venice Beach, California. We have been curating design-led lighting since 2009, and we keep Nova in the line because its shapes are honest, its proportions are right, and its pieces are built as contract-grade lighting meant to stay in a home for years.

Care and light

Dust the burlap with a dry cloth or a soft brush and skip harsh cleaners; wipe the acrylic diffuser with a dry cloth. Since the LED module is built in, there is no bulb to swap. For smooth dimming, use the wall dimmer as Nova specifies. Read our lamp finishes guide and lamp materials guide for more on materials.

Frequently asked questions

How big is the Moonlight Flush Mount, and how far does it drop from the ceiling?

Nova lists the fixture at 16.5 in across and 3.7 in high, and names it the 17-inch Moonlight. Its spec table also shows 16 × 16 × 7 in overall, so if headroom is tight, plan for up to 7 in below the ceiling.

Is a bulb included with the Moonlight Flush Mount?

There is no bulb to buy or change. The light comes from a built-in 36W LED module rated at 5,580 lumens and 10,000 hours, which Nova compares to a 300W incandescent.

Can I choose warm or cool light on the Moonlight Flush Mount?

Yes. The color temperature is set on the LED module while you install it. Nova’s assembly sheet names a 2700K warm and a 5000K cool setting, while its spec table lists 3500K–6500K, so check the module before closing the diffuser.

Does the Moonlight Flush Mount work with a dimmer?

Yes. Nova lists it as dimmable from a wall dimmer switch, and says it works with smart switches used with Amazon Echo, Google Assistant and Apple Home.

Do I need an electrician to install the Moonlight Flush Mount?

It is hardwired to a standard ceiling junction box and Nova lists final assembly as required. Nova says it should be installed to local code by someone familiar with electrical work, so hire a licensed electrician if you are not comfortable with wiring.

What warranty comes with the Moonlight Flush Mount?

Nova’s limited warranty covers defects in material and workmanship under normal use. Bought through an authorized retailer like us, it runs 1 year (Nova gives 3 years on its own website). It does not cover outside damage, modification or use outside the U.S. Contact us if anything arrives wrong.
