International Shopping Guide

As an importer of Lighting products from multiple countries across the world we often get asked for advice on compatibility of our products for use in other countries around the world so we've prepared a helpful guide to assure you the following:

All our products are manufactured to the EU CE regulation which is the most strict product regulation worldwide
All our products are manufactured to 240v capability which means they are suitable for any voltage from zero to 240V

To get started select your country from the list below:

Countries in the EU

Wiring

The majority of countries in the EU use a harmonized wire colour system which is Brown (Live), Blue (Neutral) and Green/Yellow (Earth). All our products are wired in these harmonized colours and tested to EU wiring standard regulations or above.

Product Certification

The EU uses a product quality certification known as the 'European Conformity' or 'CE Mark' and are entire catalogue meets this regulation with many products also meeting the USA UL standard.

Voltage

With the exception of the America's, the majority of the world's countries uses a voltage of 220-240V and for the EU this is a standardized Voltage. All our products are manufactured to be capable of up to 240V which means you can purchase light fittings and light bulbs from us both of which are suitable for use in the EU.

Plug / Wall Socket Connection

Many countries have their own unique socket and plug types which has been designed for the needs of their 'Earthing protection system'. Where the Voltage is consistent from one country to another it is perfectly safe to use an adapter plug to convert one plug type to another suiting your wall socket connection.
