2 Lights from 1 Ceiling Rose

[SpannerMonkey]

I see sorry, I'm getting my terminology mixed up, when I said that I was going to run a cable of to the side I meant that I was just going to use an extended flex on the second pendent so that the light could be hung 3 feet away.

I understand the difference now, you cant make the rose do something it wasnt built to do but it is ok to link a third rose into the circuit.

How was that going to work?

I was going to connect two pendents to the same rose by connecting both to the same terminals.

When I say I was going to do it, this is only a theoretical question, I wanted to know if it was possible, that's the whole point of this thread.

Anyway, the questions been answered, it isn't possible, it's not allowed and so it won't work.

Even if it was allowed, they would both hang straight down. That's why they are called pendants.

A hook in the ceiling, a bit less than 3 feet from the rose, I guess - but, as you've said, it's a bad idea, for all sorts of reasons!

Kind Regards, John.

I have actually seen it done like this in a house I once lived in. The flex was about 4 foot long and run along the ceiling and wound round a hook. Thats what gave me the idea so i was looking for an easy way to put a second light in.

You can do that if you want, but you can still only have 1 flex coming out of a rose.

You could combine the names to Spankymonkey

Or monkeyspanker.


On second thoughts, maybe not...
