Check out www.bellacor.com, they show something called semi-flush....you might be able to find some new terminologies there. I also found some really cool light fixtures for my house! :)

Thanks both for your help, but I'm afraid neither answer is suitable. I am looking for something in between a medallion and a chandelier. It does not fit flat onto the ceiling and it does not hang like a chandelier. It is not a pendant either. The problem is that there are many terms and they are not consistently applied.

Well, my first inclination was to agree with Blangsted, because I thought they were ceiling medallions, but then I checked Google & the chandeliers showed up!!! Hmmmmm

Is there a mix-up with lysekrone and loftkrone? It seems on websites when you search for loftkrone, you actually get lysekroner and loftkrone isn't in the standard dictionaries. Are they referring to the fitting or the actual light?
