Conduit pendant light fitting

[Craig24]

Hi,

I am looking to put 3 pendant lights in my kitchen, these specifically -

SOLKLINT brass, clear glass, pendant lamp, 22 cm - IKEA

This ceiling lamp features shiny brass and grey clear glass, creating a warm, ambient light with enchanting shadows. Perfect for any room.

I currently have only 1 ceiling rose, so was hoping I could create something like this -

Ideally it would be black, I know I can purchase black plastic conduit, I can't find the fittings on the end with an outlet for a flex, all I can see are boxes like this -

can anyone point me in the right direction, like this but black?

You could fit a gland to a conduit box lid. Or use metal and spray it and make it any colour you want as well!

You can still buy black enamel conduit fittings

Can you not feed a cable above the ceiling to negate the need for the conduit?

I have a feeling, the conduit is part of the 'feature lighing' - the faux industrial aesthetic

Ah, I see.

As @Sureitsoff? says, drilling a hole for a compression gland in the conduit box lid, may look ok?

If you wanted the standoff, as in your lower image - the compression gland could be epoxied into a female adapter?

Thanks all! Easier than I thought, cheers

To be honest I don't think you need the DOME PLATES, the fittings you chose, you will fix the bracket to the two fixings in the conduit box and the fittings black shroud will slide up and fit relativrly flush with the box

but not covering the box and would look odd

Those IKEA ceiling boxes are cr@p. Better, as the OP envisaged, to not use those and run the light cable into the conduit box through a dome plate. Maybe with one of these to protect the cable
