Vance 13 Frosted Glass Ceiling Light by Sean Lavin for Visual Comfort
Vance 13 Frosted Glass Ceiling Light by Sean Lavin for Visual Comfort
$569.00
/
Vance 13 is a thin disc of frosted light, clean, contemporary and endlessly useful.
The Design Story
Vance pares the ceiling light back to a slim metal body and frosted glass.
The result is bright, even light with almost no visual weight.
Why You'll Love It
It suits almost any room, and you choose warm or soft-white light.
Made for Real Life
Nothing to relamp: the light source is built in. Polish the glass now and then with a soft microfiber cloth. The brass is a living finish that deepens with age. A soft, dry cloth keeps the metalwork clean. Pair it with an LED-compatible ELV or TRIAC dimmer to go from bright to candle-soft. It sits close to the ceiling, so it suits rooms where a pendant would be in the way.

Sizing & Installation
Getting a ceiling light’s scale right is simple math. For the Vance 13:
| Room match | about 6 × 7 ft (room length + width in ft ≈ width in inches) |
|---|---|
| Depth below ceiling | 3.3″ (fine for 8 ft ceilings) |
| Hallway spacing | every 8–10 ft |
| Canopy | 13.4″ x 13.4″ Round |
| Wall | can mount on a wall too |
The room match is our math (length + width in feet ≈ width in inches). To preview the size, print the paper template below and tape it up. It is hardwired to a ceiling box, so book a licensed electrician.

Questions We Hear Most
What is the idea behind the Vance 13?
Sean Lavin designed it so that it is a thin disc of frosted light, clean, contemporary and endlessly useful. It belongs to Visual Comfort's Vance family.
Which Vance 13 finish works with my palette?
Our take: brass brings warmth to wood and earthy tones; nickel feels bright and luminous.
Can the Vance 13 be the only light in the room?
It is designed as mood lighting (1,113 lumens), so pair it with lamps or recessed lights for tasks.
What size room suits the Vance 13?
Add your room's length and width in feet; that number in inches is a good fixture width. At 13.4″ it fits rooms of about 6 × 7 ft.
Will the Vance 13 work outside under a roof?
Yes. Visual Comfort rates it for damp interiors and outdoor spaces under cover, so a loggia or covered patio is fine; keep it out of direct rain.
Will I ever change a bulb in the Vance 13?
There are no bulbs. The light comes from built-in LED modules with a 50,000-hour L70 rating, fitted at the factory.
How does the Vance 13 mount to the ceiling?
It fastens to a standard ceiling junction box under its 13.4″ × 13.4″ Round canopy and is hardwired by an electrician. It can also be mounted on a wall.
How soon can the Vance 13 arrive?
All the versions we offer are in stock right now, and in-stock pieces usually leave within 2–3 business days.
