About DIY lighting hardware

These groups of DIY hardware components help you find the correct coupler or pipe component to make your own light fittings. They are separated by thread, since lighting and plumbing pipe threads are not a comparable thread size or type. For a complete reference for the thread sizes used, download the thread PDF.

For Australian and New Zealand customers, connecting any light fitting to mains wiring must be done by a licensed electrician.
