'Vintage' lighting

OK, complete opposite to my other post about Philips Hue.

Anyone installed any of these multi pendant lights and then used these vintage look filament lights?

How were the multi drops wired into one ceiling rose, and how much light did the bulbs actually give out?

I have some LED filament bulbs straight swap for standard ones they look nice and give of a decent light.

one of these?

they usually come with a rose so you just replace the existing...

that site has loads of options, have used them a couple of times - Bulbs are variable depending on what you put in them, you don't want them too bright, usually use them as a "mood" light rather than a main light source

Yeah we've got all filament apart from the bathroom. I just drilled a bigger hole in a normal ceiling rose... bit cheaper than £90.

Some very nice stiff. But wow, so ridiculously expensive :eek:

A mate of mine makes a few light fittings in this style. Its amazing how much people will pay for items associated with being vintage.

You can source a lot of the parts separately yourself if you don't mind a little bit of simple wiring.

Take a look at metal conduit boxes for industrial/vintage look DIY ceiling rose.

you can buy all the components pretty cheaply - but when you're speccing them for rich folk its easier to go off the peg!

Thanks for all the comments, feedback and links!
Some good stuff to look through there. Think I had seen that urban cottage site already, and yes, that is the style I was looking at, especially the enamelled shades.

Russinating - that looks good. Are those thes vintage style Edison filament bulbs too? I was expecting them to be a lot duller than that.

These are what I specifically meant:
