Pablo Designs Totem LED Flush Mount – Opal Glass Ceiling Light, Shades A–D

Totem’s opal glow, tucked right up to the ceiling.

Totem Flush Mount sets one of Totem’s four mouth-blown opal shades (A, B, C or D) directly against the ceiling, bringing the collection’s soft geometric glow to hallways, closets, bathrooms and rooms with low ceilings.

Its dim-to-warm LED moves from 2700K toward 2200K, and it can be grouped with Totem pendants that drop at different heights for an installation that flows from ceiling to table. Totem collection was recognized for Concept and Design at the 2024 Archiproducts Design Awards.

Buy once: durability and care

Totem carries a one-year Pablo Designs warranty and an LED rated for 50,000 hours. Our care advice: dust the glass with a soft dry cloth; for a deeper clean, remove the shade and wash it by hand in lukewarm soapy water, then dry it fully before refitting. Hardwired models should be installed by a licensed electrician.
