Discuss Off center pendants in older houses in the UK Electrical Forum area at ElectriciansForums.net
Afternoon
Always wondered why lol!!
In older houses- that havn't been rewired or converted into dl's etc- in the bedrooms appear to have the bedroom pendants off center towards the windows...
anyone know the reason lol
So that the lights were in front of you and pervs couldn't watch you disrobe
flower bed? as you mention bulbs.I always assumed it was so you didn't have to climb over the bed to change the bulb.
At first I thought that can't be right as that would light you even better than above- or back-light but then of course they had net curtains on the windows, which would tend to go opaque when lit.
and we should know, pete. we've both been around since the roman invasion.
Lol, I remember helping my Granny filling the paraffin lamps and priming the Tilly lamps.

never bothered us. windows were always iced over on the inside. me da's idea of central heating was an overcoat on the bed.

hovis? it were mouldy crusts out of next door's bin for us kids. it were tough up north in them days.I bet it was a booger cycling tHill to get tHovis as well, especially with them girt big hobnails on, youngsters today
Yep, when rewiring was always asked to centralize the pendants, but as you say that was the theory behind it.It was a 'modesty' thing , the theory being that anyone standing behind the light would not be seen clearly.
