Olivers Lighting Company would like to thank Period Living for choosing our online shop to be their website of the week.

The German ‘Schuko’ two pin socket is now available to purchase from our Churchill Socket range.

Olivers Lighting are pleased to announce the availability of an in-line 230V, 500W dimmer pack, for use with our ‘push to make’ switches.

The push to make switch can be purchased together with the in-line dimmer for use as a single item, or they can be used with the Standen, Osborne and Albany 2, 3 & 4 gang switches.

We’re presently offering the push to make switch as a single item on the following page, if you’d like to use the switch in other configurations, please call Olivers Lighting on 015242 42478.

We’ve been receiving a large amount of spam emails this year, which has forced us to use stronger methods of filtering our mail.

While we’ve been getting to grips with the new software, it’s possible that one or two legitimate emails have been mistakenly labelled as spam and deleted.

During the week we will always answer emails on the same day they were received, or the following day if they were sent during the evening. Emails sent at the weekend will be answered on the Monday.

If you’ve sent an email within the last two to three weeks and haven’t received a reply, please send it again or call 015242 42478.

Our apologies if this has caused any inconvenience.

We receive a lot of calls asking for information on surface mounting.

Surface mounting is required when it’s not possible to place an electrical box (flush mounting) into the wall.

Our Standen, Osborne and Bakelite ranges can all be surface mounted as standard, but the Albany switches and all sockets require an electrical box to be fitted first. Sometimes it’s also preferable for surface mounting boxes to be fitted with the Standen, Osborne and Bakelite range too.

Olivers Lighting can provide surface mounting boxes, which are hidden by a wooden collar and enclosed by your switch or socket once screwed down on top. These collars are made to order, preferably with your switch and socket order, this allows us to make sure they fit the switch or socket they are to be used with.

For more information, please call Olivers Lighting on 015242 42478.

While placing an order on our online shop, customers are presented with the option to add additional information on why they are placing an order with Olivers Lighting.

Aside from the multitude of simple comments such as ‘for a renovation’, ‘replacing modern switches’ ‘found you on Google’ etc. we also receive comments which make us believe the hard work we put in is worthwhile.

Here are a selection of those comments.

K. Legget – The finest reproduction period electricals online and the most stylish website by far.
Ms Moore – Had your switches for over ten years and needed an additional one.
Mr Thomas – I liked the product and experienced really good customer service when I called.

Mr Myles Shannon – I need wooden switches and tasteful ones are hard to find.
