Want to replace 1 ceiling rose with 8 pendants.

[Kris Heath]

Hi, I have a single ceiling rose with a single bulb in a domestic living room, needs replacing with 8 bulbs. We have a custom ceiling rose with 8 holes in, but what's the best way to add 7 new pendants to the circuit? Just put junction boxes in the ceiling cavity connected in series? Seems like a lot.

Cheers.

Apologies, I think I'm too new to post photos, or can't do it on my phone.

Those buckets look about right, bloody awful is the direction we're going in. It will be 8 pendants with normal 40w bulbs, not recessed lights. The downstairs lighting circuit will take the new bulbs without exceeding the limit, even if I put 60w bulbs in.

The new ceiling rose has 8 holes in and clamping screws for each flex and will be sufficiently supported, so weight isn't an issue.

The circuit can be accessed from the room above if necessary. I need to change 1 pendant into 8 without adding new roses.

Thanks.

Where did you purchase this item from? Can you supply us with a link to the product?

Every ceiling rose has eight holes in it if using the loop in loop out system.

I'm presuming this is a large property to require 8 pendant lights?

Kind regards

Thanks for all the suggestions so far, sorry if I've not been clear. I can't post a url but it's on Historic Lighting dot CO dot UK, look for ceiling rose multiple outlet.

There's just holes for flex, so I need to rewire the existing single pendant to be 8 new pendants.

That site looks horrendous !

Why? I thought it might be quite useful if a customer wants a particular "retro" look to their room.

8 pendants fron one rose, In my minds eye all I can see is a bunch of grapes!

Your view of retro is different to mine then!!
