About Innovations Lighting Innovations Lighting 517-1CH-OB-G78 Franklin Restoration Large Bell 1 Light 8 inch Oil Rubbed Bronze Semi-Flush Mount Ceiling Light in Silver Plated M
What is the Innovations Lighting 517-1CH-OB-G78 Franklin Restoration Large Bell semi-flush mount?
The Innovations Lighting 517-1CH-OB-G78 Franklin Restoration Large Bell is an 8-inch semi-flush mount ceiling fixture that combines industrial-era design with modern UL/ETL damp-location safety ratings. Designed by Bruno Marashlian for Innovations Lighting's Franklin Restoration collection, this fixture mounts close to the ceiling with a 9-inch overall height and 4.5-inch square canopy, making it suitable for spaces with limited overhead clearance. The oil-rubbed bronze finish on steel and cast brass construction pairs with a silver-plated mercury glass bell shade for vintage aesthetic appeal.
Key features
- Silver-plated mercury glass shade — hand-applied reflective coating creates authentic vintage character with light diffusion
- Oil-rubbed bronze finish — manually applied to steel frame and cast brass components for period-correct industrial appearance
- 8-inch diameter bell shade — provides 220-lumen output at 2200K color temperature with 99.9 CRI when paired with vintage ST64 bulb
- UL/ETL damp location rated — certified for installation in bathrooms, covered porches, and high-humidity environments
- 4.5-inch square canopy — 0.75-inch thick mounting plate conceals standard 4-inch electrical boxes with 9-inch total drop

Who is the Innovations Lighting 517-1CH-OB-G78 for?
This fixture serves homeowners and designers updating hallways, bedrooms, closets, or foyers with 8-foot ceilings where traditional pendants hang too low. The damp-location rating makes it appropriate for powder rooms and covered exterior entryways. Buyers seeking authentic industrial or farmhouse aesthetics will appreciate the mercury glass and bronze pairing, though those needing integrated LED or high-lumen output should consider modern alternatives.
How does the Innovations Lighting 517-1CH-OB-G78 compare to alternatives?
At $215.60, this fixture costs approximately 40% more than basic semi-flush mounts but includes hand-finished mercury glass and cast brass details absent in mass-market options. Similar fixtures from the Franklin Restoration line with seedy or matte glass shades retail for $185–$198, making the silver-plated mercury finish a $20–$30 premium. The single 60-watt bulb limitation suits ambient lighting but falls short of task-oriented fixtures offering 800+ lumens from integrated LED arrays.
Best use cases
- →Hallway ambient lighting in homes with 8-foot ceilings
- →Powder room vanity lighting in farmhouse or industrial interiors
- →Bedroom closet illumination where pendant fixtures hang too low
- →Covered front porch entry lighting with damp-location exposure
- →Period-correct fixture replacements in 1920s–1940s home restorations
Is Innovations Lighting 517-1CH-OB-G78 Franklin Restoration Large Bell 1 Light 8 inch Oil Rubbed Bronze Semi-Flush Mount Ceiling Light in Silver Plated M right for you?
This fixture suits homeowners prioritizing period-correct industrial aesthetics over maximum brightness, particularly in spaces with low ceilings where traditional pendants cannot be used. The $215.60 price point targets mid-range remodel budgets willing to pay for hand-finished mercury glass and cast brass construction. DIY-capable buyers will appreciate the 2.2-pound weight and standard electrical box compatibility. Those needing task lighting above 500 lumens or integrated LED efficiency should consider Innovations Lighting's LED-equipped alternatives or competitors offering higher-output options in similar price ranges.
How it compares: Compared to $185 Franklin Restoration fixtures with seedy glass, the silver-plated mercury finish adds $30 but delivers more pronounced vintage character. LED semi-flush mounts from manufacturers like Kichler or Progress Lighting offer 800+ lumens at similar prices but lack the handcrafted glass detailing and cast brass components found in this manually finished fixture.
