Just change the bulb

That’s quite an old bulb, but you do just need to remove the bulb and fit a new one. If the actual fitting is burnt rather than just the bulb then it will need replacing by an electrician. Not a big job.

Love the light fitting...but, not the price tag!

Hi Alecia. You could buy the latest in string lighting - White Lightbulbs! They're for in and outdoors and in multicoloured bulbs too. If you bought 3 or 4 you'd have a similar look for a fraction of the price. 'MY-NEWLIFE' on ebay UK has some, and for about £100 you can get 100 on a string from the US. Good Luck.

The Industrial Lighting Revolution

There’s a movement gathering pace in the interiors world and a quick flick through the pages of this month’s style bibles has confirmed it. Where once the glossy magazines were filled with ornate chandeliers and fancy lampshades, now there are bare bulbs and exposed fittings. Lighting hasn’t just gone back to basics, it’s gone back to bare necessities, resulting in a true celebration of form and function. Dangling by bedsides, hovering over islands, looping down hallways; vintage style bare bulbs on long, leisurely cables show just how relaxed we have got with our lighting tastes. But basic they are not. In fact, who knew solitary light bulbs could be so beautiful? Raw naked bulbs go wonderfully well with the rustic industrial interior trend that shows no sign of slowing. Exposed bricks and cabin style timber comes to life with a cluster of variated bulbs illuminating them. Here at Feather and Nest we have a carefully curated selection of lighting solutions. Choose from industrial inspired lighting to create a contemporary and unique look in your home, to fun pom pom lights adding colour & fun to your living space.

Microwave to fit Howdens wall unit
Q
Comments (46)
Adding a new comment to this thread, as I spend days of my life trying to find an integrated microwave that would fit a Howdens 290mm deep wall unit. This was the main thread on Google for info on this problem. I don't want anyway else to waste their life in the same way, so here's what you need to know: -The Howdens 290mm wall unit only officially houses the Lamona integrated microwave, which is 320mm deep. The middle of the Lamona microwave sticks out about 2cm from the wall unit. It looks.. a bit ugly. -HOWEVER, it is possible to get a third party shallow (300mm depth or so) microwave that does fit. -The current model I found that fits the standard Howdens slot is the NEFF HLAWD23N0B_BK. By the time you read this they might have updated the range with a new model number. It's the shallowest integrated microwave they do. -Officially the NEFF needs 320mm depth BUT just ask your electrician and kitchen installer to cut a slot for the power cable to run through the back wall of the unit to the power supply in a separate bit of the units. (We put the power switch in the cupboard above it) -The front of the microwave is about 1mm proud of the units but you wouldn't know it wasn't supposed to fit if you hadn't obsessed over it.
