Hayes Round Ceiling Rose 15cm - Satin Black

This is the fitting that gathers a cluster of pendants into a single tidy circle. The plate is round, 15cm across and shallow enough to sit close against the ceiling, with five openings for flexes to pass through. The satin black finish is a soft, low-shine black rather than a gloss, so it takes reflections gently and sits quietly against a dark ceiling. There is no lamp holder and no wiring of its own; it is an accessory that does a single job and stays out of the way of the pendants below it.

It suits a run of pendants over a dining table, a kitchen island or a long hallway, where separate fittings would look scattered. A cluster down a stairwell is another good use, with flexes dropped to different lengths so the shades stagger through the void. We reach for a plate like this when someone is building a pendant set from flex, grips and shades of their own choosing rather than buying a ready-made multi-light fitting. It works just as well in a bedroom, with drops falling either side of the bed.

The satin finish runs across the face and around the edge, so the rim reads as the same colour when seen from below, and the shallow profile keeps the whole thing discreet once the flexes are in place. It carries a one year warranty. For care, give it a pass with a dry cloth while you are dusting the shades, and keep polishes and solvents away, since a satin surface shows smears more readily than a polished one. Cord grip packs and metal cable grip kits sit alongside it in the same range, the kits in matt black as well as other finishes, so the small parts can either match the plate or be picked out against it.

How many pendants can it hold?

There are five holes, so it is made for a cluster of up to five pendant drops brought together at one point.

What are the dimensions?

It measures 150mm in diameter with a height of 25mm, so it keeps a low profile against the ceiling.

Does it come with a lamp holder or flex?

No. This is a non-electric accessory, so flexes, grips, lamp holders and shades are chosen separately.

Is the black glossy?

No, it is a satin black: a low sheen that reads as a soft solid black rather than a mirror-like gloss.

How should I clean it?

A dry, soft cloth is enough. Avoid metal polishes, abrasives and solvent cleaners, which can dull the satin surface.

Is it suitable for a bathroom?

It is rated IP20, so keep it to dry rooms such as kitchens, dining rooms, bedrooms and hallways.
