What type of pendant can I use for a downlight lamp shade

you will probably find what you need here

Before you disconnect any wires in the ceiling rose :-

Look at the Wiki in this forum to see how ceiling roses are wired.

Make sure you know what you are doing.

Turn the light ON
Turn OFF the power at the fuse / MCB box
Make sure the light has gone OFF. ( proved you have probably turned off the correct circuit )

Label each wire BEFORE you disconnect them.

Take clear photos so you can re-connect if the new lamp doesn't work.

Thanks for the help, there is nothing on there that is suitable though. What I need is a bar that fits to the ceiling and hold the shade with bulb holders pointing upwards - image attached

So in your sketch, where is the "single hole like a desktop lamp shade"?

The hole is at the bottom of the sketch (the sketch shows a cross section of the shade). So it looks like this when fitted to the ceiling

Are you sure there weren't any other parts hidden inside the packaging? You might like to ask the supplier for advice. Their photo seems to show a flex disappearing into the shade, so I would imagine a standard lamp holder like the one that I linked to and a fitting with a hole that that screws into that connects somehow to the shade.
