About Franklite Lighting
We realise that with many new homes the ceiling height can be a limiting factor. We have therefore added many ranges of lighting specifically to accommodate this problem. Look for the suitable for low ceilings logo throughout the catalogue and then check the safe minimum drop figure against your individual ceiling height. New homes now have a requirement for a number of light fittings to be energy efficient (low energy) and even in older properties, this is an excellent way of substantially reducing energy costs. We have therefore added a new section dedicated to specially adapted ranges of lighting which are both decorative and pratical and have low energy ballasts incorporated to comply with the building regulations.
At the bottom of most pages in this Franklite catalogue you will find a table giving details of the luminaires shown.

We use only quality components in the construction of our lighting and all products are rigorously tested before leaving the factory.

We are proud to have Franklite products in many thousand of homes and business premises world wide and every order, no matter how small, is valuable to us. If we can be of any assistance to you with your lighting requirements, we would be happy to here from you.

Inside Franklites factory at Milton Keynes, this is only a small section of the factory containing all types of lights and light fittings and parts.
