Ovia
Ovia adds new Inceptor Milli Converter Plates
Ovia has expanded its popular Inceptor Milli domestic downlights range with the addition of new Converter Plates. Designed to offer a simple and stylish retrofit solution, these plates make it easier to fit the Inceptor Milli Standard Fitting into ceilings with pre-existing larger holes.
The new Inceptor Milli Converter Plates allow the standard Milli fitting (which requires a Ø64-75mm cut-out) to be retrofitted into ceiling cut-outs up to a maximum size of Ø120mm. This makes them an ideal solution for upgrading or replacing lighting in spaces where ceiling holes are larger than the original fitting’s specifications.
The new Converter Plates are available in five distinctive finishes: White, Matt Black, Chrome, Satin Chrome and Antique Brass.

Forbes & Lomax
The New Micro Dimmer from Forbes & Lomax
This autumn, Forbes & Lomax is excited to launch its new Micro Dimmer pack. The micro dimmer pack allows you to adjust the brightness of LED lights when used in conjunction with fully retractive switches, such as the Forbes & Lomax retractive dolly switch and momentary button.
Micro dimmer packs can be installed directly behind the switch and controlled at the touch of a button. Due to their compact size, they are ideal where space is limited.
As they can be retrofitted, they therefore offer an uncomplicated way of updating switches, as no extra wiring is required.
All plates are handcrafted in the UK and assembled at the Forbes & Lomax workshop in South West London.
