Indeed - from product specifications for MK ceiling roses and
pendant sets:

installed using independent support eg. ceiling hook."

Although MK pendant sets are supplied pre-fitted with "0.75mm2 two
core circular cable", so there is some discrepancy with your
quoted max permitted weight.

Andrew's figures are correct (BS 7671 Table 4H3A) but apply in the
absence of more specific information from a manufacturer. So if MK
say 5 kg, that's OK.


5kg!! I would be surprised if that's safe. Never mind the electrical
hazard - what if it falls on your head? :-)
