Black LED Flush Mount Light by Maxim Lighting

The 57696WTBK from Maxim Lighting is a 22-watt integrated LED flush mount designed as a surface-mount alternative to recessed can lighting. It is suitable for residential ceilings, including wet locations. Key features include 3,200 lumens at 3000K warm white and a CRI (Color Rendering Index) of 90.

Key Features and Benefits of This Flush Mount Light

The edge-lit design spreads light evenly across the 12-inch face, and the 1-inch profile stays close to the ceiling. At 22 watts for 3,200 lumens it is energy efficient, and the CRI of 90 shows colors accurately. It is dimmable, and the 35,000-hour rated life means no bulb changes.

Where to Use the 57696WTBK Flush Mount Light

This fixture suits residential ceilings where a recessed can would otherwise be used, including damp or wet areas given its wet location rating. Warm 3000K light fits living spaces; look for a higher color temperature if you prefer cooler white.

Installation and Compatibility Checks

The page describes this as a surface mount fixture measuring 12 by 12 by 1 inches and running on 120V. Confirm the ceiling can accommodate a 12-inch square fixture. It is dimmable, so use a dimmer compatible with LED loads. The LED is integrated, so the whole fixture is replaced if it ever fails.

Additional Buying Context
