 What's New With Chandelier Candle Tubes 2023

At Light-Fix.co.uk we pride ourselves on listening to our customers, this is how our parent company, King's Chandelier Services Ltd, expanded from onsite chandelier cleaning and chandelier restoration to offering the extensive range of antique and vintage chandelier spares. By the way we do still offer chandelier cleaning and restoration services so feel free to contact us if you are looking for either of these services!

Back to point, listening to our customers, and studying our sales records, we are aware that plastic candle tubes are loosing their appeal with a move to more sustainable materials. Add to this the introduction of the plastic tax pushing the costs of plastic candle tubes up to prices that we were paying for card candle sleeve tubes, we knew that we had to do something pro-active.

When purchasing mass produced chandelier candle tubes the customer has always been limited on the choice of height, colour, style etc. We are pleased to announce that we are now producing our own card candle tubes, hand finished, and in doing so we are able to offer flexibility to our customers giving wider choice and control.

By making our own candle tubes we are able to offer a much larger height range, currently the tallest is 300mm height - the shortest - well you can choose - if you cannot see the height you need just email us. All heights will be available either with drip effect or plain and we are able to offer a wider choice of colour, again if you cannot see the colour you need then just email us and we will see if we can accommodate the colour.

At present we are transitioning our plastic candle tube range over to card as stocks of the plastic designs sell out. We are pleased to say that by producing these ourselves we will be able to keep the prices competitive so you, the customer, will not see massive prices increases.

Using card candle tubes is more sustainable than plastic and the card candle tubes can last longer than plastic as the plastic can become brittle with age.

Our candle tubes are being manufactured to be suitable with a choice of our lamp holders so you will be able to purchase these together if required.

If you have any questions or are interested in a particular size please email us as your thoughts are important to us when developing new product ranges https://light-fix.co.uk/contact.html

Below is just a small selection, all available in drip and plain designs.

Installing Your Chandelier And The Importance of Weight Load Testing

 As you may be aware our Parent Company is King's Chandelier Services Ltd and as the name suggests they specialise in chandeliers.  They have an extensive range of antique and vintage chandelier parts and accessories that are sold direct from their website (a small selection being featured on our website), together with antique and vintage chandeliers for sale. In their workshops they undertake chandelier restoration and bespoke products. Chandelier cleaning and installation services are offered subject to availability.

Some of the most common questions that we are both asked when customers are choosing accessories for the installation of their chandeliers and lighting products are:-

"What do I need to install my chandelier/light fitting?"

"Why do I need to load test?"

The first question we will ask back is what weight is your chandelier/light fitting and dependant on the response we may ask if you have access to the floor above as you may need access to the joists from above.

King's Chandelier Services have written 2 blogs on these subjects and so I have included links below - both our websites stock the same items for installations and we are happy to answer any questions either by email or telephone - 01206332938 - if you give us a call you can choose whether your purchase is completed by either Light-Fix or Kings - you may not be too bothered but don't forget if you usually buy from one website let us know as your purchases all go towards your Lifetime Customer Loyalty Discount and we do not want  you to lose out!

Lifetime Discount Scheme for Light-Fix Customers

Everyone likes to be appreciated and to know their custom is valued and so to show our customers, new and old, our appreciation we have launched a Lifetime Discount Scheme.

Our discounts do not have an expiry date, once you have achieved a qualifying spend threshold the discount will automatically be applied to your order and each order thereafter – all the customer needs to do is ensure that they use the same email address when placing orders with us as the email address is automatically monitored to calculate the accrued spend.*

Discounts will be applied to a customer account when the accrued qualifying spend, excluding carriage, reaches £150.00 and has three tiers in total with the discount increasing at each new threshold.

The frequency of ordering does not matter as the system will remember you and you will receive an email confirmation when you reach a new discount level.  Please note refunds and partial refunds will be deducted from the accrued spend as appropriate.

The discount scheme is available to all customers using the website or placing orders by telephone and  is not limited to UK customers only, as a thank you for their continued custom.

Please do not hesitate to contact us for further details or to place an order.

*If you change your email address you can update this in your account or alternatively you can contact us so we can update it for you.

Don't forget some of the items that we sell are dual purpose, for example an engineer purchased some of our "S" hooks for a project he was working on which involved a submarine refurbishment!

Light bulbs were purchased for a incubator for baby chicks whilst other components and our 1.5mm electrical cable have been purchased for the refurbishment of vintage hoovers and heaters.
