Ceiling Height

The height of your patio ceiling plays a significant role in determining the best-suited light fixture. For lower ceilings, opt for flush mounts or semi-flush mounts to keep the space from feeling cramped. Higher ceilings can accommodate taller fixtures like chandeliers or hung pendant lights. Always ensure that your chosen fixture is safely suspended and allows for sufficient headroom.
