Hanging Lampshades with a BC or ES hole

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 a Bayonet Cap version with shade rings for a shade with a 32mm – 35mm hole; or an Edison screw version with shade rings for a shade with a 38mm – 45mm aperture. 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 a Bayonet Cap version with shade rings for a shade with a 32mm -35mm hole or an Edison screw version with shade rings for a shade with a 38mm – 45mm aperture. 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 in 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.

Don’t forget your LED light bulb!

If I buy more than 1 metre of chain or flex, will it be cut?Calvin2022-08-16T16:32:29+01:00

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

If you choose more than 1 metre of lighting chain or cable you will be sent that length in one piece.
If you require your lighting chain or lighting flex to be cut 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 chain yourself some Side, End or Bolt Cutters will do the trick!!

What are your products weight tolerances?Calvin2021-12-13T10:12:29+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.
