Hayes Round Ceiling Rose 28cm - Satin Black

Hang a cluster of pendants and you need somewhere tidy for the flexes to gather, which is what this shallow round plate is for. It measures 28cm across, sits close to the ceiling, and is drilled with four holes so several drops can share the same point rather than each needing their own. The satin black finish is soft rather than glossy, so it reads as a quiet dark disc instead of a shiny one. There is no lamp and no wiring in the plate itself: the pendants you suspend from it do all the work.

We reach for a plate like this over a dining table, a kitchen island or a long console, where a huddle of pendants at staggered heights looks better than a fixed centre light. It suits anyone putting a light together from parts, choosing their own flex, shade and lamp holder rather than buying a set arrangement. Black is an easy choice against a dark ceiling, smoke grey plaster or an industrial-leaning kitchen, and it holds its own on white where you want the plate to read as part of the design.

The plate is finished in satin black throughout, edge included, so nothing bright shows when you look up at it from below. Keep it right with an occasional dust from a dry microfibre cloth, and if kitchen grease settles on it, a barely damp cloth and a dry buff afterwards will lift it; cream cleaners and solvents will dull the satin. It belongs in dry rooms indoors, away from steam and splashes. It carries a one year warranty. We also stock the black compression cord grips and the metal cable grip kits from the same range, in black and in other finishes should you want the grips to contrast.

How big is the plate?

It is 280mm in diameter and 25mm deep, so it stays close to the ceiling line, and it weighs 0.71kg.

How many pendants can it take?

There are four holes, so it is set up for up to four separate flex drops gathered at one point.

Does it come with pendant flexes, holders or shades?

No. The plate is a non-electric accessory, so the flex, lamp holder, shade and lamp all come from the pendant parts you choose.

Can I use it in a bathroom or outdoors?

No. It is rated IP20 for dry indoor rooms, so keep it away from shower zones, steam and any exposed position.

Will the cord grips from the same range match?

Yes. The black compression cord grips and the matt black metal cable grip kits sit well with this satin black finish, and the other grip finishes work if you prefer a contrast.

Is there a warranty?

It carries a one year warranty.
