Description
A plain white disc with an E27 lampholder at its centre and a switch of its own, this is the kind of fitting that gets on with the job and asks for no attention at all. It measures 12cm across, so it claims very little of a ceiling or a wall, and it is sealed to IP65 against dust and water. The rating runs up to 15W, which in practice means a compact LED or low energy lamp rather than anything bulkier. Dimming is possible where both the lamp and the dimmer are suited to the task.
We reach for plates like this wherever light is wanted and nothing else is: pantries and larders, deep cupboards, cellars, workshops, garages, plant rooms and the awkward space above a stair return. The integral switch earns its keep in rooms with no wall switching, or where you simply want the light to stay off until somebody is actually in there. It suits anyone after honest, serviceable illumination on a budget, and it is a sensible answer in a utility area where a shade would only sit collecting grime.
The body is finished in white throughout, so it disappears against most painted surfaces, and it is double insulated to Class 2. Keeping it clean is a small job: isolate the circuit, wait until the lamp is cold, then go over the plate with a cloth wrung out in warm water and dry it off before switching back on. Check the seal stays clean and undamaged if the room gets steamy. It carries a one year warranty. We also stock the plate as a twin lamp version with a foot switch, and as an outdoor version supplied with cable, so a run of them can be matched across a house and its outbuildings. Lamps are not included.

Frequently Asked
What lamp does it take?
One E27 lamp rated up to 15W. Lamps are not supplied, so choose an LED or low energy type within that wattage.
Can it be dimmed?
Yes, provided you fit a dimmable lamp and pair it with a compatible dimmer. No dimmer is supplied with the plate.
How big is it, and how heavy?
The plate is 115mm in diameter and weighs 0.23kg, so it is genuinely compact.
What does the IP65 rating mean here?
The fitting is sealed against dust and against water jets, which makes it a good choice for damp, dusty or steamy interiors such as cellars, workshops and utility spaces.
Does it have its own switch?
Yes, a switch is built into the fitting, so the light can be operated at the plate rather than from a wall switch.
Is there a warranty?
It carries a one year warranty.
