Discuss Rewiring Ceiling Light in the UK Electrical Forum area at ElectriciansForums.net

Glued the bracket to the ceiling !!
Yes. she said the joist was on the edge of the cable whole in ceiling so put one wonky screw in joist and glued the other side of the metal bracket to the ceiling with superglue! I am secretly glad i am not fitting them now.... I regretted the job once i saw the extra cables and mismatched colouring. But why push 2 wires up in a hole the size of a 10pence piece? i had to cut a much bigger hole to pull them down. she didnt think they were needed apparently as the light came on and stayed on so thought issue was the switch!
