Shop By Type
Before you start shopping to buy lights, you will generally know what type of lights you need, so starting here is a wholly sensible one!
We have prepared a full, ultimate guide to buying the perfect ceiling light.
- Ceiling Pendant Lights: Hanging lights that can be adjusted upon installation to suit most ceiling lights
- Ceiling Pendant Bar Lights: Similar to ceiling pendants, but generally only using one electrical point for more than one light (or continuous LEDs) that are aligned in a row.
- Ceiling Pendant Clusters: A multi-light ceiling pendant, hanging from a single ceiling rose that can spiral down, hang in clusters, or sometimes spread out by using ceiling hooks.
- Chandeliers: These have multiple tiers suspended from a central point. They are generally thought of to be traditional crystal chandeliers, but you can also get more modern styles too.
- Flush Ceiling Lights: These are ceiling lights that sit close to the ceiling, making them ideal for properties with low ceilings, or in high traffic areas, such as hallways. Traditionally, they could be considered as a bit boring, but there’s loads of contemporary styles on offer now!
- Semi-Flush Ceiling Lights: These are a great option for properties with a standard ceiling height, or over a table in homes with lower ceilings. Dropping down a little more, it allows them to have more flexibility with the style. Many of these will be multiple lights too.
- Ceiling Spot Lights: These are generally flush or semi-flush in height, but designed to spread a focused light with directional shades. Ideal in kitchens and living rooms, they offer a minimal look.
- Easy Fit Ceiling Lights: These are sometimes referred to as ceiling shades. They’re ideal for a quick room refresh, as they simply attach straight on to your existing ceiling suspension. All of our easy-fit shades come with a shade reducer ring to fit onto a BC/B22 (bayonet cap), or use without to fit on to a standard ES/E27 (Edison Screw) cap.
- Table lamps: They are one of the easiest ways to add lighting into a room. Generally, being a lower level than the ceiling lights, they add a welcoming ambience to the room.
- Desk Lamps: Ideal to use on tables and desks, many feature adjustable shades to direct the light. Generally, they are designed to take up less space then the traditional table lamp.
Floor lamps are a secret weapon when it comes to interior design. We have a full and comprehensive guide on buying floor lamps.
- Floor Lamps: These are perfect to brighten corners and add a sculptural feel to a space. Standing tall, they can help to add inches to the height of your room.
- Mother and Child Floor Lamps: A dual source of light, these are generally modern in design. They have the ambient light that a normal floor lamp has, with the added bonus of an adjustable reading light. Perfect for snuggling up with a good book!
Wall Lights:
- Wall Lights: Often underutilised, wall lights add additional light and character. They can highlight architectural features, artwork and add ambience.
- Wall Washers: These are either open at the top and base of the shade, or fitted with diffusers. They wash light both up and down the wall, keeping glare from eyes.
- Wall Uplighters: These are very similar to wall washers, except that they are only open at the top of the shade, or fitted with a diffuser. They wash light up against the wall, keeping glare from eyes.
- Plugged Wall Lights: All wall lights are great when they have been planned, but if you’re happy with your decor, you won’t want to ruin it by channeling for cables! Enter wall lights with plugs and switches – problem solved!
Bathroom Lights:
Lights suitable for bathroom use vary from those that we use in the rest of the home.
Essentially, they need to be IP rated for safe use in bathrooms, due to the inevitable splashes that can occur.
- Bathroom Ceiling Pendants: IP44 rated (or higher) ceiling pendants that are great for adding glamour to bathrooms, or for bathrooms with high ceilings
- Bathroom Chandeliers: IP44 rated (or higher) chandeliers that add a luxury look.
