E27 light fittings

L1011

Is there anywhere in Ireland - online non-specialised trade (RS/CPC etc are fine but not anywhere that requires you to be a registered electrician) or physical - that sells normal looking E27 light fittings?

The majority of decent new bulbs are E27, practically all smart bulbs are E27 (including all of mine) and I'm using the cheapo adapters

I need to replace one totally broken batten fitting and one that's on its way out - bayonet latches bent on them; and one ceiling rose/pendant fitting that's generally extremely ratty looking and I don't see the point of putting bayonet in now.

But the few fittings I can find are either ridiculous - fake gold painted metal pendants - or really industrial looking.

Ikea use E27.
Philips hue are available in bayonet as are many other smart lamps

Philips are the dearest available. BC seems to basically be dead end, used just for fixed lighting (and old lamps) in a few countries so most manufacturers either release no products or a subset of the range.

The MK batten fitting there is BC (part number as well as photo - photo can easily be wrong); and the IKEA one has a massive, eh, "rose" compared to what we're used to in Ireland. Might be the best option available though as it isn't as profoundly ugly or guaranteed to date badly as some.

Cut the cable from the "rose" and use a normal rose instead?

Cut off the rise part and just use the fitting
