What is this product?
This is a ceiling rose. It is the bit of a light that electrical wire on lights hangs from. This particular version mounts a hanging cable, bulb facing down. I have heard them referred to as bases, pendants, fixtures, you name it.
It allows connection from power circuit to light fitting.
It comprises:
1. A metal saddle that fixes to ceiling
2. A cover plate that offers up
3. A cable restraint to hold the cable
4. Thumb screws to hold in place.
