Help & Advice
Why are ceiling lights important?
At a practical level, ceiling lights act as the main source of light within a space. Getting your ceiling lighting right will set the ambience and tone and help your room look its very best - in many situations a great ceiling light will act as the focal point of the whole room. Find a ceiling light that will add a whole new level of visual interest and complete your perfect interior!
What are the main types of ceiling light?
Flush Lights – flat attachments mounted on your ceiling with no gap. A very versatile style where you can easily find fixtures for whichever function or room you are looking for.
Semi Flush – lights that are attached with a short stem to create a gap. Semi flush lights are common in kitchens and dining rooms.
Spotlights – adjustable lights that are often used to highlight a particular area of a room.
Recessed Spotlights - Ideal for rooms with a low ceiling - Recessed Spotlights are mounted into the ceiling. They are great for creating ambience.
Pendant Lights – a hanging fitting, usually with a single source of light.
Chandeliers – a decorative hanging fitting with branches for several types of bulb. The perfect centrepiece fitting for a room.
Should I go for a flush or semi flush light?
This will always be a question of personal preference. One thing to consider - A flush fixture directs light into the room, while a semi flush will direct light down and up at the ceiling at the same time. The effect will make a small room feel more spacious and your ceiling higher.
Do ceiling fans have lights?
Many do – which is why we stock them! With most ceiling fans, you don't need to have the fan and the light on at the same time if you don't want to. On a hot summer's day, ceiling fans can be a godsend – they're also great left on all night after one of the British 'sizzlers' we've had recently.

How bright are ceiling lights?
Brightness of ceiling lights is measured by ‘Lumens’ – The higher the Lumens, the brighter the light. Please refer to this comparison table to see how Lumens rate in terms of wattage.
What is a multi-arm pendant?
