Hanging Lampshades with a BC or ES size apertureDenise2020-11-04T14:19:31+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.

If I buy more than 1 metre of chain, will it be cut?Denise2020-08-17T11:05:16+01:00

If I buy more than 1 metre of chain, will it be cut?

If you choose 3 metres of chain you will be sent one 3 metre length.
If you require your lighting chain to be cut to into lengths, please just add this detail in the ‘Notes’ section at Checkout and we can do that for you. If you want to cut it yourself some Bolt Cutters will do the trick!!

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 & chains 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.

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.
