The Bobo BF20 is a 200mm batten fix ceiling light with a glass shade on agloss iron frame one B22 globe to 40W, not supplied inantique gold with opal matt glass, black with clear glass orblack with opal matt glass.

What a batten fix actually is, and why it matters

A batten fix mounts onto theexisting batten holder most Australian ceilings already have the plainlampholder screwed to the ceiling in older houses and in bedrooms, laundries and hallwayseverywhere. That makes the Bobo a direct upgrade: there isno new wiring, no new fixing point and no ceiling work, just a fitting that goeswhere the bare lampholder was. It is the cheapest way to change how a room looks.

An electrician still installs it. A batten fix connects tomains wiring at the ceiling, so it is not a globe change the requirement isgenuine here, unlike on the plug-in lamps and light globes elsewhere in this range that carried thesame sentence in error. Our page printed it twice, which is a separate matter.

B22 bayonet, not E27 check before you buy a globe

The Bobo takes a B22 bayonet globe thepush-and-twist base, not the screw type. That is consistent with its purpose, becausebayonet is what most Australian batten holders were built for. But it means anE27 screw globe will not fit, and E27 is what most people have in a drawer.Up to 40W, and not supplied.

Clear or opal matt and it is the real decision

• Opal matt fully diffusing. Hides the globe completely:no bright point, no glare, an even glow. On a ceiling fitting you walk under and look up at, this isthe comfortable choice, and it is available in both antique gold and black.
• Clear the globe is fully visible. That is a look, and itdemands a decorative filament globe to work; a plain frosted one will lookunfinished. Available in black only.

200 by 220mm, and light

200mm across, 220mm high, on a120mm canopy projecting 30mm, at only0.8kg. Small enough for a hallway, a bedroom or a landingwithout dominating, and light enough that the existing batten point carries it easily.

Dimming depends on the globe

Fit a dimmable B22 and pair it with a wall dimmer and it dims; a plain globe willnot. Our record carries no value at all against dimmable; the correct answer isglobe dependent.

Where it works

• Hallways, bedrooms, landings and laundries wherever a bare batten holder is.
• Rentals and quick upgrades no new wiring or fixing point.
• Takes B22 bayonet, NOT E27 screw check before you buy a globe.
• Choose opal matt if you look up at it; clear needs a decorative globe.
• Indoor and dry locations only IP20.

Questions

What is a batten fix?

A fitting that mounts onto the existing batten holder most Australian ceilings already have the plain lampholder in older houses, bedrooms, laundries and hallways. It is a direct upgrade: no new wiring, no new fixing point and no ceiling work.

Do I need an electrician?

Yes. A batten fix connects to mains wiring at the ceiling, so it is not a globe change. The requirement is genuine here, unlike on the plug-in lamps and light globes elsewhere in this range that carried the same sentence in error.

What globe does it take?

A B22 bayonet the push-and-twist base, not the screw type up to 40W, not supplied. That matches what most Australian batten holders were built for, but it means an E27 screw globe will not fit, and E27 is what most people have in a drawer.

Clear or opal matt glass?

Opal matt hides the globe completely no bright point, no glare, an even glow which is the comfortable choice on something you walk under and look up at. Clear shows the globe fully and demands a decorative filament one; a plain frosted globe will look unfinished.

Which colours come with which glass?

Opal matt comes in antique gold or black; clear comes in black only.

Can I dim it?

It depends on the globe. A dimmable B22 with a wall dimmer will dim; a plain globe will not. Our record carries no value at all against dimmable.

Will the existing batten point hold it?

Easily it weighs 0.8kg.
