What is a pattress?
A pattress is a specially adapted lighting backplate that screws onto your existing Jim Lawrence wall light or ceiling rose to give it extra space to house the connections and wiring where no other space is available.
Wiring in period homes can be a tricky business as electrics need to be hidden in wall or ceiling cavities that are not always possible to make in older properties where building materials such as stone, old brick, or plaster and lathe, will not tolerate being dug into.
A pattress overcomes this by providing extra depth to the ceiling rose or backplate. (Product shown on the right is the Fisher Wall Light)
WE OFFER TWO STYLES OF PATTRESS
THE GEORGIAN
Works with our pendant and wall lights that use the Georgian ceiling rose as a backplate.

HOW TO FIT YOUR PATTRESS
These fitting instructions are for the Georgian Ceiling Pattress and the Club / Holt / Fisher Lighting Pattress.
Please familiarise yourself with the lights' fitting instructions and ensure the mains electricity is turned off before installing your lighting pattress.
We recommend installation is carried out by a qualified electricianRequired tools: Pencil or Marking Tool, Drill, Wall Fixings (if applicable), screwdriver (flat head and cross head)
Step 1.
Offer the pattress to the ceiling or wall where you would like to position your light.
Ensure you have a strong fixing point – a joist or batten is ideal.
Step 2.
Make sure the two threaded holes on the pattress are aligned with the hole spacing and orientation of your light.
Step 3.
Mark and drill the holes for the fixing screws taking care not to damage any electrical cables.
In many older properties this step can take a little longer to prepare.
Step 4.
Using the three wood screws provided, screw the pattress to the wall / ceiling, ensuring you feed your supply cable through the central cut out first.
Step 5.
Wire your light following the lights' fitting instructions and then place over the pattress.
If you are unfamiliar with electrics or wiring, stop and consult a qualified electrician.
Step 6.
Use the two countersunk machine screws supplied to fix the light to the pattress.
DO YOU HAVE EXTERNAL WIRING CONNECTIONS?
CONDUIT 4 WAY JUNCTION BOX & CABLE GLAND
Some older properties have wiring that runs along walls or beams as they are not able to be hidden within the walls.
In this case, you may be able to use our 20mm Conduit 4 Way Junction Box together with a Conduit Cable Gland to provide a deeper backplate with a cable entry point for flush fitting lights.
