Hello all.

I've just moved into a new place and need to replace a ceiling light fitting since it is clearly broken and the wires are exposed.

Unfortunately, I'm not sure what the light fitting is called so I've been having trouble finding a replacement.

Basically, it's a normal ceiling rose (fed with ring cables and switch cable) but it seems to have an integrated light batten lampholder. I can either find ceiling roses or batten lamp holders online but not an all-in-one. Any advice would be appreciated.

I'd like to replace it with the same thing but otherwise I may change the style of lamp to a flush lamp, put a junction box in the roof and just feed one l/n/e cable to the lamp.

Many thanks!

sounds like a BATTEN HOLDER most are made like that now as opposed to the older BATTEN HOLDERS which were smaller and originally desighned to fit on conduit boxes, look on net at a mk 5144 whi and see if thats what you want, if so same or similar available at most wholesalers

Super thanks. Part acquired and fitted successfully.

More room for wires ,and easier to fit,glad your sorted.
