Lighting can play such an integral role in our homes. It changes the way each and every room looks and feels. From the austere to the indulgent. The professional to the casual. And there are so many styles to choose from. But there’s one lighting form that often gets overlooked. It’s side-lined by the stylists for being all too commonplace. Lacking panache and flair. But the thing is, they’re also the lights used most commonly throughout the UK. We are, of course, talking about easy-fit lights.
And in this post, we’re going to explain why you probably shouldn’t overlook them.
Why Choose East Fit Lights for Your Home
- They’re… erm… easy!
The clue really is in the name with easy-fit lighting. It is the simplest lighting style to change. Once the fitting is in place – and it comes as standard in most homes – all you have to do is choose a shade, remove the bulb, pop your shade on, and reinsert the bulb. Job done. There’s no need for an electrician. No fiddling, faffing, or messing with tools. You’ve simply revamped your lighting in moments.
- They can look incredible
As more and more lighting options have become available, we’ve all become a bit snobbish about relying on easy-fit shades. But if you choose well, they can look every bit as good as other lighting styles. With the right light bulb, Copper Swirl can look like a piece of modern art. A Jewelled Waterfall shade can compare to any chandelier. While if your home resounds with the thunder of tiny feet, you can’t really beat easy fit shades for running with a childish theme – dinosaurs, butterflies, football, or any other obsession of the moment.
- There are lots and lots and lots to choose from
Because it’s so widely used, easy-fit lighting has a shade for literally every style. The simple drum style shade is available in an array of colours to suit every room – from pink leopard print to grey pompoms. You can find fancy, adorned drums, with acrylic droplets or a beaded diffuser. You can find novelty shades, that look like a cloud of flowers or a golden artichoke. Or you can opt for swirling metal ribbons or jewels aplenty. Almost any style of light shade you can think of, you can find an easy-fit alternative for.
- They can be really cost effective
If you’re someone who likes to update their rooms and change their style on a regular basis, easy-fit light shades are the only way to go. You know they’re quick and easy. But they can also be really cheap! If you’re looking for a bargain, our clearance light shade section is full of gems! But even at full price, easy-fit light shades will typically range from about £10 to £50. With most sitting towards the lower end of the price scale.
Easy-fit lights and light shades are popular for a reason. For four reasons, in fact! They are versatile, practical, appealing, and oh-so-simple. That’s why we’ve all probably got at least one in our homes.
