What Are Lighting Fittings?

Lighting fittings are the devices that hold and control light sources, like bulbs or LEDs. They are part of every electrical setup and do three main things:

• Safety: They keep wires safe and stop electrical problems.
• Efficiency: They help you get more light while using less electricity.
• Look: They make your space look better.

Think of them as the support system for your lights. No matter what you need—safety or style—we have fittings that can work for you. Let’s now see the different types.
