E27 is the most common type of Edison Screw base, It is often refereed to as just ES. The number ’27? refers to the diameter. This type of base is also compatible with Compact Fluorescent Globes and LED globes. E27 is a 240 Volt bulb as is a standard Bayonet B22.

We also stock E14 SES 240 Volt globes and now E40 GES 240 Volt globes

Whilst we do stock 120 Volt E26 and E12 components for those countries that use that standard, not all bulb shapes are available.

A ceiling rose is a decorative element affixed to the ceiling from which a chandelier or light fitting is often suspended.  It can also be referred to as a ceiling plate or canopy.   We supply a variety of ceiling roses and ceiling plates which complement our fittings.  

When ordering a complete fitting there is often an option to include a ceiling rose that works back to the fitting.  Alternatively it can be selected individually from the hardware section on our website. For Customers in Canada and USA a J-Box canopy will be required. These are either 3″ or 4″ J-Box size canopies.

At times you will need to decide if you require 3 core or 2 core cable. Basically cables are two cores ( active and neutral ) plus a third ( Earth/ground ) cable.

Where the fitting you are wiring requires an earth then three core cable is required. Brass lampholders all require an earth. Bakelite and porcelain lampholders are not conductive and so do not require an earth.

It may be that your light shade or cage make earthing mandatory. If in doubt you should consult an electrician.

We supply SAA approved cables for use in Australia and New Zealand. CE approved cables for 240 Volt applications worldwide and UL Listed cables for use in North America.

We provide two methods to attach a shade to a pendant light.  The method will depend upon the lamp holder and type of shade used.

One method of attachment is to use a gallery/fitter.  We have an extensive range of galleries listed in our hardware section on the website.

The other way is to use a shade ring.  This is a metal ring that screws onto an E27 threaded brass lamp holder or shade ring adapter for E26 brass sockets. The shade is attached and another shade rings screws onto the lamp holder to keep it in place.

More information on the anatomy of a standard type pendant is available here.

A ceiling rose/canopy is an optional feature but is recommended to give your light fitting a neat installation to plaster ceilings. Where an electrical connection to mains is above a ceiling surface then a ceiling rose/canopy must be installed so that tension is removed from that electrical connection.

For all 240 Volt countries this connection can be via standard connectors or our Wago hardware either just in a ceiling cavity loose or inside a junction box where access is possible from above after installation.

For US/Canada all mains connections via wall or ceiling require a J-Box to be fitted flush. These require a specific canopy that will then attach to the open face of the J-Box.

When building plumbing pipe lights, many people have been faced with the problem of how to seamlessly attach a lamp holder or socket to threaded plumbing pipe directly without taking the dangerous, but sadly overused option of gluing cast iron surface to plastic .

We have been able to solve the issue by manufacturing a custom component that allows us to adapt a standard light fitting thread size and type to a length of plumbing pipe thread type.

Our 0.5inch BSTP – 0.5inch BSB 26TPI Plumbing Pipe to Light Fitting Coupler comes in either steel or brass and takes away the problem of achieving a strong mechanical joint. This also allows the whole light fitting to inherit a solid earth or ground connection wired to the lamp holder. This is an important component of electrical safety and should not be overlooked. An earth connection should also be made to any ceiling connection component that is removable.

For US E26 sockets and Bakelite lamp holders with a 10mm thread we also make a 10mm to half in BSP/NPT plumbing pipe thread.

The pendant cable can be cut to your required length after the electrical connection has been allowed for however we advise that a licensed electrician performs any electrical work. When ordering your cable we recommend that you allow a little extra. Cord can always be cut shorter but can not be joined together if too short.

Since we make all lighting pendants to order you do not need to order any more cable than is required. This allows from 0.5 Meter up to 10 Meters when ordering.

We do not sell our pendants with plugs attached however you can order the plug as a separate component for a licensed electrician to attach to one of our pendants lights.

We recommend that pendants only be attached to light circuit plug tops at ceiling level.

We have a wide range of pendant hardware and wall light hardware that will allow direct connection to galvanised steel junction boxes for surface installation.

Below are a few examples id pendant styles. These are mostly pendants from bare bulb pendant range but all pendants that are mounted using our brass 66mm ceiling plate can attach this way.

Surface mounting for wall lights is a very similar option making use of our 66mm wall mount plate.

At Edison Light Globes we have been compiling a range of products and solutions so that you can design and specify out steel conduit systems for surface mounting all wall and ceiling pendant fittings. We have a range of examples and links to documents to assist and links to product available.

Below is a complete list of the components that can be used to create a surface mounted solution.

This table shows our internal SKU number and links to product online. Below is an image that shows all parts in connection. All conduit fittings are listed online here

Here is the pdf datasheets for steel conduit systems. If you are required to design and specify a conduit system for a lighting solution in steel we have a range of products and custom pipe lengths available online. In order to get accurate drawings these sheets will assist.

The use of exposed conduit has long been a mess of grey plastic. We now offer a solution with the option to choose steel conduit systems for an authentic vintage style. Use on exposed brick or stone walls and ceilings, or as an alternative on exposed timber.
