Help choosing wall lights...! please :)

[andymet87]

Hi all,

Not really an electrical issue as such but hoping that the combined experience / knowledge on here will help me find a solution to my problem...

We are nearing the end of our renovation / extension project of our 1700's cottage. It's a low ceiling, timber frame building with some exposed brick walls, lime plaster, inglenook fireplace and limestone floors... due to the low ceiling we have wired in ready for wall lights.

Our issue is that the budget has all gone (will think twice about doing this to a period property again!) including any contingency we may have once had...!

We are looking for 10 'rustic' wall lights that each have two bulbs fittings, wife has a preference for wrought iron lights but these cost too much. I like the look and agree that we need to find something in keeping with the feel of the house.

So my question is... can anyone point me int he direction of cheap (no more than £20-£25ea) lights that may fit the bill? We plan, maybe in the longer term, to fit warm white LED filament bulbs in them to enhance the rustic feel

Many thanks for any help in advance...

Tried ebay?

You could consider buying second hand fittings and have them rewired.

These are new, and while not "wrought", they may be suitable?

Here is a selection of second hand stuff.

Look for companies that supply budget lighting to pubs , sometimes they have surplus or unsold stock

This link is not visible to you.

Thanks guys but none of the links are working... they just say "This link is not visible to you" - any idea what's going on?

any idea what's going on?

It's a site wide issue that affects all links on all posts. Noticed it yesterday, I have a thread about it in the "Forum Information" section of this site.

Just an update - ended up getting lights made at a forge near Arundel. We're really pleased with them and good price for what you get...

Yip, you can't complain at that price. I assume they are on a natural stone wall ?

Almost, some are on lime render others are on exposed brick. They really look the part. As we ordered a few (4 x singles and 6 x doubles) the guy did a nice bulk discount too! You just need to ask

I will post some pics at some ponit
