General Product Safety Regulation
From 14th December 2024 the European Union has introduced GPSR standards that product manufacturers must meet in order to sell and supply products into Europe.
At Stage Left Lux we take great care in ensuring that the lamps that we produce are of high quality, fit for purpose and most of all safe for you to use. We will be taking some additional measures to ensure that we continue to comply with the new rules.

Our products
Stage Left Lux is primarily involved with the production of portable and fixed feature lighting and luminaires. This includes table lamps, floor lamps, ceiling and wall lighting features.
We also restore and rewire vintage light fittings and lamps and occasionally we will produce small home accessories.
Our products are mainly produced by upcycling and repurposing old objects to create one-of-a-kind and bespoke feature lighting. However we will only ever use new electrical components such as cable, switches, lampholders, plugs and fuses and these are purchased from reputable UK and European sources and we ensure that these components comply with the relevant British Standard, UKCA or CE safety regulations.
All of our products are put through a series of tests before they are made available to purchase to ensure that they are safe to use.
Safety Testing
All of our products undergo a series of tests and quality checks to ensure that they are suitable and safe to use.
These checks and procedures include:
1) The use of new electrical components that carry British Standard, UKCA or CE kitemarks to ensure that they meet the required standards.
2) Professionally wired to current UK electrical and wiring regulations and ensure the correct type of cable is used, the correct fuse size and that safety features such as an earth connection is in place as required.
3) Portable Appliance Testing to ensure that the wiring is connected properly and that the wiring insulation and earth connection are functioning correctly.
4) Our lamps receive a topple test to ensure that the base is sturdy and unlikely to fall over under normal use.
5) Once our lamps pass these checks and tests, they are fitted with a safety label which provides information regarding safe use the correct bulb type to use, fuse size and voltage details.
6) We will produce a product specification for each product and this will be retained by Stage Left Lux for a period of at least 10 years and made available on request.
EU representative
As all of our lamps are fitted only with a UK standard three-pin electrical plug it is not currently our intention to sell directly into the European Union, we are currently investigating the need for an EU representative and if it is deemed necessary their details will be shown here in the future.
