Hanging Lampshades with a BC or ES size aperture

For Lamp shades weighing less than 2 kg you can use a cord grip lampholder with shade rings to hang your shade.
Then choose between Bayonet Cap (32mm – 35mm aperture in your shade) or an Edison screw (38mm – 45mm aperture in your shade) lampholder. Next you need a ceiling rose with a cord grip and some earthed 3 core flex which will go between the lamp holder and the ceiling rose.

For shades over 2kg you need to support the flex by using some lighting chain and therefore need a lampholder with a hook and shade rings to hang your light shade. Then choose between Bayonet Cap (32mm -35mm aperture in your shade) or an Edison screw (38mm – 45mm aperture in your shade) lamp holder. Next you need a ceiling rose with a hook and again some earthed 3 core flex which goes between the lampholder and the ceiling hook. The chain you need is our large link chain. This is sold by the metre to a max of 10m single length. If your drop is more than that, lengths of chain can be joined using an S hook. Max shade weight is 5kg using a single hook. Please see our Weight tolerance FAQ if your shade is heavier than 5kg.

How do I hang a shade with a 10mm hole?

Use one of our 10mm galleries as shown below. The central brass all thread undoes and goes through the 10mm hole in your shade then re attach the cord grip to secure the shade. You then choose the flex you want to hang down to your cord grip lampholder and up through the hole in the hook via some lamp chain to your ceiling hook.
