Lighting Components FAQ

How do I fit the bungs into a Bottle or Ceramic base?Denise2020-11-04T14:33:03+00:00

How do I fit the bungs into a Bottle or Ceramic base?

You can access a ‘screwdriver slot’ to turn to expand the bung to create a tight fit by removing the reducer that holds down the metal plate. Feed your 3 core braided flex down the bung and through the hole in your lamp then wire up the lampholder and attach it to the ½” threaded reducer on top of the bung. Size 19-22mm fits a standard wine bottle.

Not sure about wiring up your lighting or which regulations apply?Denise2021-01-06T18:02:22+00:00

Not sure about wiring up your lighting or which regulations apply?

Are you qualified? Installing our lighting is not difficult if you are competent, but carried out incorrectly can prove dangerous. Electrical work is a skilled profession requiring expert knowledge with ever changing accreditation therefore electrical contractors are required to regularly update their qualifications. We strongly advise you instruct a fully qualified NICEIC registered electrician. As a supplier we are not qualified or insured to advise you on how to wire up your lighting schemes. Please be aware that when selling a home you may need to provide certification for any electrical work undertaken.
Can I use your products in my Bathroom? IP rated lighting must be used in bathroom areas where water is likely i.e. zones 1 and 2. Unzoned areas can use standard lighting without an IP rating, See our handy diagram for more help. Bathroom Zones Explained

What’s the biggest size bung you do?

Our biggest bung is currently 50mm. You can use some cork or wood to fill the hole if the aperture is bigger than that and insert our fittings into that.
