The Opal Ball 75W batten fix is a simple fixture incorporating white circular shade with a stunning white metalware.
No electrician required, save on costs.
A Batten fix is one of the most common light fittings. It is often supplied as a standard in new homes.
It is simply a BC Lampholder connected to the ceiling or wall. Many DIY (do it yourself) lighting fittings are made to cover Batten Fixes.
By unscrewing the sleeve at the bottom of the Batten Fix you are able to slide the DIY light into place then screw the sleeve back on. This allows for the DIY light to be held in place.
The main benefit of DIY lighting of this nature is that they do not require the need for an electrician to install therefore, potentially saving you hundreds of dollars.

A basic, classic but elegant light fitting no longer easy to access in lighting stores (apparently brass is currently out of fashion, and anything as simple as a glass sphere definitely so). Thank goodness for Lighting Illusions!
