New type of downlight

[NG1965]

My son's a plumber (sorry..I know) and sent me this picture from a loft today...it's above a shower and comes on with the other bathroom down lights. The hole is sealed with a sheet of glass and mastic....the chap that owns the house advertises his services as a 'handyman'. Apparently the plumbing was bad so goodness knows about the wiring!

I like it!

Don't think that shade of pink suits the surroundings

 

[Kiers1970]

That's what I call recessed.

10/10 for creativity.

Like the screw through the base!

You wouldn't want it to fall over, might be dangerous

problem covered as pointed out by Murdoch post 6 lol

Looks like it was a replacement for a downlight, judging by the spring clip lying there.

At least the IP rating from below is good, even if you'd have trouble fitting a loft cap over it.

That's awesome. !!

You're gonna need another shower once you've been up in the loft to switch off that light.,.

Forget LED downlights ill have some of these instead lol.

Better airflow than most properly fitted halogen downlights. It ain't gonna catch fire. Daz

Funny...

You just couldn't make it up...

Looks like connector blocks gaffer taped up to the right too...

That's bloody brilliant! Bet you could get some cheap desk lamps from the poundshop, get some cheap down light base things and save yourself a fortune on IP65 fittings! I'm going to pitch this to the wife! And I'll use wagos instead of connectors, wouldn't want to be rough!

 

[Marvo]

That gets a perfect 10 from the African judge.

HA HA brill.

I have a feeling this is the work of our Eastern European friends, they certainly have an eye for improvisation. Or a wind up either way 10 out of 10 for effort!

Just when you think you've seen it all - lol!!!!!

 

[Billythekid]

is that the central heating loop next to it? I think he's on to something here - heat reclaim, domestic division.
