Multiple bulbs from one ceiling rose

IM

I fancy getting creative and making a feature light like the trendy ones you see - with multiple spiral-filament bulbs bunched together, hanging from a single rose



There's plenty of multi-outlet ceiling roses out there - see link for an example

My concern is that I don't overload the wiring going down this route.

I've seen roses which can accommodate 8 cables/bulbs, which sounds an awful lot.

Is it just a question of choosing sufficiently low wattage bulbs - albeit that collectively they give you the lux levels required?

Yes - you should be fine unless you plan on fitting stadium floodlights !!

I'm glad that you think it looks trendy, to me it just looks completely naff.
I suppose it's just as well we don't all think alike.

Lighting circuits are rated for at least 5 amps. That's over a kilowatt of lighting. If need more than that, your electricity bills are going to be horrendous.

These 'nostalgia' lights are usually 40W
