Description
This is a small round plate in black chrome, 80mm across and shallow in profile, with a plain flat face and no central hole. The finish is a dark, smoky take on chrome, nearer gunmetal than polished silver, and it holds light softly rather than throwing it back. Because the face is unbroken, it reads as a closed disc rather than an obvious piece of hardware.
A plate like this does the finishing work at the top of a hanging light, drawing a neat circle at the ceiling and giving the cable somewhere to arrive. The blank face suits the jobs where nothing needs to pass through the middle, so it works as a plain cover disc as much as part of a light. We would choose it over a wider plate in a small hallway, a compact kitchen or a bedroom where a big disc would loom, and we keep it in black chrome for schemes built on darker metals.
Black chrome plating shows fingermarks less than bright chrome, though it does mark, so a dry cloth over the face now and then is enough; where it has picked up cooking grease, a barely damp cloth followed by a dry buff keeps the plating even, and abrasive creams and household sprays should stay away from it. It carries a one year warranty. There is no lamp holder here and nothing to switch on, so the light source belongs to the fitting it serves. We stock the matching Hayes cable grip kit in the same black chrome, with grips also offered in matt black, polished chrome, antique brass and French gold.

Frequently Asked
What size is the plate?
It measures 80mm in diameter with a height of 25mm, so it sits close and covers a small circle.
Does it have a hole through the centre?
No. This is the no-hole version, with a solid unbroken face.
Is it an electrical item?
No, it is a non-electric accessory. It has no lamp holder and takes no lamp of its own.
Which rooms is it suited to?
It is rated IP20, which makes it right for dry rooms such as hallways, living rooms, kitchens and bedrooms rather than shower areas or anywhere exposed to the weather.
How should I keep the finish looking right?
A dry cloth for dust, and a barely damp cloth with a dry buff afterwards if the surface has picked up grease. Avoid abrasives and solvent-based cleaners, which can dull the plating.
Is there a warranty?
Yes, it carries a one year warranty.
