In Bangladesh, ceiling rose means two things. The small electrical base for a light fitting. And the decorative medallion around a light or fan. This guide explains both so you can buy once and install with confidence.
Today you will get the contemporary prices of ceiling rose by type and brand, a quick size chart, and the materials that last in local heat and dust. We’ll also show how to check voltage and amperage ratings, what to pair with pendants, chandeliers, fans, and the features that are worth the money.
So, without doing anything further, let’s get started!
A ceiling rose is the small fitting at the ceiling that connects and covers the wires for a light. People also use the term for the decorative round piece that sits around a light or fan. The electrical ceiling rose holds terminal blocks for live, neutral, and earth, and gives a neat base for a pendant or bulb holder.
The decorative ceiling rose or ceiling medallion is a lightweight disk that hides marks and frames the fixture. Both help the ceiling look tidy and make installation easier. When someone says ceiling rose light fitting, they usually mean the electrical base.
In Bangladesh, “ceiling rose” usually means one of two things-
1. the electrical fitting that connects your light/fan wiring at the ceiling, or
2. the decorative medallion that sits around the light or fan canopy to dress up the ceiling.
Here’s a clean, no-nonsense rundown so you can spot the difference and choose the right one.
These are small and offer practical fittings that sit over the junction box. You’ll find them in most homes and nearby shops.
These are the round (sometimes oval or square) pieces that add character around a light or fan canopy. Think of them as ceiling jewelry.
Prices vary by type and size. An electrical ceiling price ranges from BDT45 to BDT500 depending on its type and size. In local stores and marketplaces, the small electrical plate is the cheapest, while large decorative medallions cost more because of diameter, design, detailing, and finish.
Type | Common material | Typical size | Typical retail price (BDT) |
---|---|---|---|
Electrical ceiling rose plate | Plastic or bakelite | Small round | 45 to 150 |
Electrical ceiling rose with holder set | Mixed plastics, metal screws | Small round | 260 to 460 |
Decorative ceiling rose, small | Gypsum, entry designs | Around 12 to 14 inch | From ~360 |
Decorative ceiling rose, large | Gypsum, ornate designs | Around 24 to 30 inch | 2,200 to 2,500 |
Decorative ceiling medallion, imported | Polyurethane, paintable | About 15 to 25 inch | Up to 7,000 |
Start by deciding the purpose. Are you buying a decorative medallion for looks or an electrical ceiling rose plate for safe wiring and mounting?
Let’s make this easy. Here is the detailed guide you can follow—
You should determine your priority first, and then make a decision on which one you should purchase. In simple words—
Non-negotiable fact: a decorative medallion never carries weight. Fans and heavy fixtures must be supported by a proper hook plate/junction box, not the medallion.
Installing a ceiling rose is not rocket science. If you follow the following steps, you can safely install your ceiling rose without taking any expert help.
Pick your path considering your case. The first set is for a decorative medallion. The second is for the small electrical ceiling rose plate used for wiring and hanging a pendant.
Adhesive suitable for ceiling use, wall plugs and screws for heavy pieces, drill, screwdriver, measuring tape, pencil, masking tape, filler or caulk, primer and paint, utility knife, sandpaper, cloth.
1. Mark the center: Measure the room or use the existing light point. Lightly pencil the outline of the medallion.
2. Test fit: Hold the medallion up to check clearance for beams, trims, and the light or fan canopy. Confirm the center hole is large enough for the cable.
3. Prepare surfaces: Wipe dust. Lightly sand glossy paint so adhesive can grip. Brush away residue.
4. Apply adhesive: Run a continuous bead near the outer rim and a few lines across the back. Keep the center area clear of excess.
5. Feed the cable: Pull the light cable through the center hole. Do not stress the conductors.
6. Fix in place: Press the medallion to the ceiling and give a small twist to seat it. Use masking tape straps to hold it while the adhesive grabs.
7. Add screws if heavy: For large or heavy medallions, drill pilot holes through the medallion into the slab or timber batten. Use wall plugs and screws. Sink screw heads slightly.
8. Clean and fill: Wipe any squeeze out. Fill the edge gap and screw heads with filler or caulk. Smooth the joint.
9. Prime and paint: Let adhesive cure as per product guidance. Prime and paint for a seamless finish.
10. Fit the light: Install the light canopy so it sits flat on the medallion. Keep fan ventilation slots clear if a fan is nearby.
If you want to install the electrical ceiling rose on your own, this part will guide you. If you are not confident with wiring, bring in a professional electrician to avoid accidents.
Insulated screwdriver, wire stripper, voltage tester, screws with plugs, the ceiling rose plate with cord grip, small length of heat-resistant flex if needed.
1. Isolate and verify: Power off at the main switch and breaker. Prove dead at the rose wires with a tester.
2. Remove the old fitting: Lower the cover and note how the conductors are arranged. Label them if needed.
3. Fix the base: Screw the base of the ceiling rose to the ceiling or to the mounting box. The base must sit flat.
4. Prepare conductors: Strip only enough insulation for the terminal length. Twist strands neatly. Fit ferrules if you have them.
5. Make the connections: Typical light points have loop live, neutral, and switched live. Put neutrals in N, lives in L, and the switched live in the marked terminal for the lamp live. Connect earth to the earth terminal if present. Tighten all screws firmly.
6. Strain relief: If a pendant flex is used, clamp it with the cord grip so the terminals do not carry weight.
7. Close the cover: Dress the wires so they sit inside the body without pinching. Fit the cover so it clips or screws fully.
8. Reattach the pendant or canopy: Fit the shade ring or fan canopy. Check everything sits flush.
9. Restore power and test: Switch on at the breaker and main switch. Test the light switch. If it trips or the light does not work, power off and recheck connections.
In Bangladesh, numerous brands offer ceiling roses at cost-effective price ranges without sacrificing quality. In most cases, your investment is protected. Consider your needs first, note them down, and then do some research to find out which product can meet your needs. If you are still confused, you can seek expert help and get an appropriate suggestion.
It is the small round wiring base used at a light point that has three groups of terminals: loop live, neutral, and switched live. It lets you bring power in and out at the ceiling and connect the switch and the lamp neatly under a cover.
Two reasons. One is electrical: to provide a safe junction and strain relief for a pendant light. The other is decorative: a medallion that frames the light or fan and hides small ceiling flaws.
For a decorative medallion, center it on the light or fan point and size it to the room. For an electrical plate, mount it flat to the ceiling or to a box, keep wires inside the body, and use the cord grip so the terminals do not carry weight.
It depends on the goal. For decoration, polyurethane is light and easy to paint, gypsum gives a classic look, PVC is a quick budget pick, and wood feels premium in dry rooms. For wiring, choose a plate with clear terminals, proper current rating, a firm cover, and a solid cord grip.
People use this to mean the electrical ceiling rose base and cover. It is the round plate that hides the wiring and holds the pendant flex securely.
It covers the junction at the ceiling, supports a pendant or canopy, and keeps connections insulated and tidy. In short, it is the mounting and cover point for the fixture.
