Clearance Section

End-of-line, ex-display and reduced-stock lighting

Clearance pricing on fittings we're running down — discontinued styles, surplus inventory, and ex-display pieces. Full manufacturer warranties apply.

What's in the clearance section

The clearance section holds fittings priced below standard retail for specific reasons — none of them compromises on the fitting itself. Typical clearance categories:

Discontinued styles — manufacturers regularly retire older designs when ranges refresh. Discontinued fittings work exactly like their current-range counterparts but are priced to clear the remaining stock.

Surplus inventory — when actual sales volumes differ from forecasts, we end up with more of certain fittings than we'll sell at standard pricing. Clearance moves the surplus through.

Ex-display — fittings that have been on display in the showroom or photographed for product listings. Cosmetically perfect but classed as not-brand-new.

Last-of-line — fittings from ranges being wound down. Often premium pieces at reduced prices because the full range is no longer available.

Minor packaging damage — fittings where the outer box has been damaged in transit or handling but the product inside is untouched.

Short-run promotional stock — fittings bought for specific seasonal or promotional events that haven't sold through, now reduced.

What clearance doesn't mean

To be clear about what clearance is not:

Not faulty — all clearance fittings are fully functional and in working condition. Faulty items are returned to the manufacturer, not discounted for sale.

Not damaged — minor packaging damage aside, the products themselves are intact. Cosmetic product damage would be disclosed explicitly on the individual product page.

Not out-of-warranty — full manufacturer warranties apply to every clearance item, the same as standard-price stock.

Not unsupported — if something goes wrong in the warranty period, clearance items get the same service as full-price items.

Why clearance is worth looking at

Premium fittings at mid-price — discontinued premium designs often end up in clearance. If you're looking for quality lighting on a tighter budget, clearance can deliver 30–50% off retail on genuinely high-spec fittings.

Completing a set — if you bought a fitting years ago and want matching pieces, clearance may still stock the discontinued range.

Accent pieces — one-off statement fittings (a feature pendant, a single chandelier) where you don't need current-range consistency across a room.

Trying a style without commitment — clearance lets you experiment with a style or finish at lower cost.

Buying clearance — what to watch for

A few sensible checks:

Stock availability — clearance stock is limited and doesn't restock. If the fitting is listed as available, it's usually the last few.

Bulb compatibility — some older fittings were designed around bulb types that are now less common (older halogen, specific low-voltage sizes). LED replacements exist for almost everything but confirm before ordering.

Matching sets — if you need multiple fittings to match (e.g. two matching wall lights), confirm the clearance stock covers the full set before committing.

Returns policy — clearance items are usually covered by the same returns policy as standard stock, but confirm on the product page before ordering.

Frequently asked questions

Are clearance fittings second-hand?

Mostly no — the majority of clearance items are brand-new, never-installed stock that's simply been discounted. A small percentage are ex-display (shown on shop-floor or used for photography) but these are labelled explicitly.

Do clearance items come with a warranty?

Yes — full manufacturer warranties apply. The discount reflects stock position (discontinued, surplus, ex-display) rather than any warranty compromise.

Can I return a clearance item?

Standard returns policy applies in most cases. Confirm on the individual product page if unsure — some ex-display or bespoke clearance items may have restrictions.

Will discontinued clearance bulbs still be available in future?

If the fitting takes a standard cap (E27, E14, GU10, B22, G9), yes — these are standard bulb types that will remain widely available indefinitely. For fittings with integrated LEDs, the LED typically lasts 25,000+ hours (over 20 years at normal use) and when it eventually fails the fitting is replaced.
