Former owners installed modern fixtures that are out of scale in low ceilinged hallway. One, in fact, blocks the door to the heating unit and I can't open the door fully enough to easily change a filter. I'm looking for original fixtures.. the ones that came in this circa 1977 Streng home were square, flush to the ceiling, but had a wooden frame around that that extended down about 1 inch all the way around. They're the type that pop out of the ceiling on these springy hinges when the bulbs need to be replaced. Any leads? Thanks!
I had issues replacing the unoriginal flush mount lights in my hall way too. It's only 7 ft high.
Is your ceiling the roof deck or do you have space between the decking and ceiling?
you might try your local home building products recycling center.
i have replaced many of these fixtures not just in strengs but others, i didnt save any. of course on a 7 ft ceiling we put in can lights. next time i get one i could give it to you. e me [email protected]
Just helped a client with a line of thin ceiling fixtures for a 2x6 floating soffit
They are a line of dimmable fluorescent and now LEDs that fir into a 5.5" space
They are by HALO & Lightolier & ordered them from Wendy Lofing at Lofings lLighting.
We'll be using them in my 7' hall redo. I'm opening the ceiling for new wire runs, gas line & HVAC upgrade and will replace 2 lights w/ 4 LEDs
Dimmable but they use very little electricity in the long hall and if the house gets another 50 years it will make a difference.
Not the cheapest but they also have lines of more reasonably priced unit.
Make sure you match your fixture to the dimmer type you may want

Remodeled a Carter Sparks house and have some of them available for sale .....not sure if you need them anymore.
@ bigskyman
Very interested in your flush mount ceiling lights. Are they still for sale?
