Build your dream stairwell pendant in 5 steps.

 Larger ceiling plates are perfect for creating spiral stairwell pendants or suspending creative shades. Follow the steps below to build the light to your specific requirements.

1. Choose the rose

2. Decide the cable positioning

3. Choose which cable

4. Choose the lampholders

5. Put it together

HERE'S HOW TO GO ABOUT EACH STEP:

1. Choose the rose

• Choose a blank rose to start with, from the above options or see others in the Ceiling rose category

2. Choose the cable positioning

• Think about how you want the cables to look. Do you want them spiraling around the edge of the plate, or do want them spiraling into the centre, or do you want them random lengths?
• • Our default positioning of outlets is at 30mm from edge, evenly spaced around perimeter.
  • If you are using shades, check they won't touch adjacent wires.
  • Work out how many cable drops you would like.
• Purchase outlets here

3. Choose the cable

• You now know the quantity of cable drops.
• If spiralling the drops, calculate the lengths of the cable drops:
• • First calculate the increments: [Longest Length - Shortest Length] / [Drop Quantity -1].
  • Then list out the lengths, shortest first, add the increment for the next, and so forth.
  • Add up the lengths and order the total amount of cable as one length.
• For more help ordering the right cable, see our pendant blog, Step 2 : Choosing The Cable.
• Purchase cable here - be sure to choose 3 core 0.75mm cable

4. Choose the lampholders

• Decide if the lampholders need shades.
• Choose a cordgrip lampholder that will fit your shades.
• For help ordering the right lampholders, see our pendant blog and our cordgrip lampholder blog.
• Purchase lampholders here

5. Put it together

• If you are an electrician, you might want to wire this yourself. We have done some good videos on how to do this - see our 200mm roses in this category.
• Otherwise, you might wish us to make it up for you - we charge per cable drop.
• Just choose the number of cable drops you are having from step 3
• • You can purchase this assembly service here
