Ikea's light shades are not designed to fit on standard UK bulb holders - they're designed for slightly larger European ones.
If you buy light shades from Ikea there's a good chance they won't fit and you'll have to replace the entire ceiling fixture. You'll also have to replace the British bayonet bulb with a European screw bulb.
It's not expensive and it's easy to do if you've got basic electrical skills but it's not something you'd want to do in a rented flat or if you've bought expensive smart bulbs with a bayonet connector. |
