Open the rose sizer →Each ceiling rose comes with a 50 mm opening for the flex, or with no wire hole if you'd rather cut your own. Pick the centre option on the product page. Not sure? Send Joseph a photo and your measurements.
Message Joseph →Choose a battery LED with remote, which needs no wiring at all, or a mains E14 version for an existing wall point.
Shop wall lights →Yes. Paintable pieces can blend with your wall or ceiling, or stand out in a contrasting colour. Natural cast and primed finishes need different preparation.
