Do I need 2 or 3 core lamp flex?Denise2020-12-22T14:53:45+00:00

Do I need 2 or 3 core lamp flex?

When using any metal light fittings you need to earth the fitting to reduce the risk of electric shock. You therefore need to use our 3 core light flex in either our round or twisted braid as both have live, neutral and earth wires. Our 2 core braided flex only has live and neutral wires and therefore is only suitable for use with non-metal light fittings. If in any doubt please always refer to a qualified electrician.

Hanging Lampshades with a BC or ES size apertureDenise2021-02-22T15:37:19+00:00

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?Denise2020-11-04T14:37:05+00:00

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.

How do I know how much lighting cable I need to order?

Creating a mock up design using string is a common solution. Once you are happy with your design simply measure the string for your required flex length.

What are your products weight tolerances?Denise2020-12-17T09:48:01+00:00

What are your products weight tolerances?

For Lamp shades weighing less than 2 kg you can use a cord grip lampholder to hang your shade as this is the weight tolerance of the lighting flex.

Our Single Ceiling Hooks can hang, using a piece of our large chain, a light fitting up to max of 5kg. If you had 2 hooks & large chain you could hang 10kg and with one of our large triple hooks and large chain up to a maximum of 15kg. Obviously the fixing into the ceiling needs to be secure, you can add one of our wooden pattresses which can be secured using larger screws. If you fix this into a ceiling joist this can also add extra hold but you will need to consult a builder or electrician if hanging a heavy light fitting to keep you safe.

Our smaller chain is only suitable for hanging a ceiling bowl from our Triple bag ceiling hook as the chain link size is too small to fit over our larger hooks. The maximum weight of the shade should be 5kg as this is the weight tolerance of the triple ceiling hook.
