You know the ones,bolts attached to the back,fit the front,then fiddle with the dome nuts.
Bottom entry,you don’t have achance &1.5 mm cables,I nearly smashed it to bits.
 
Those poxy dome nuts. First time I put one up, dropped one onto gravel below. Couldn't find it :mad: Now put sheet underneath :)

Round here, its mostly reconstructed stone, so no flat surface to fit the light, and the bolts pop out the back :mad: Fit some duct tape across the back to stop em :)
 
Somewhat against my better judgement, I fitted one of these last week:

To my surprise, it was actually quite good, as cheap fittings go.
my main plus point is that the base is easily wide enough to cover most holes previously made in the ceiling. I was able to utilise one existing screw hole, make one more, and it all connected up easily. Not top drawer for looks, but actually a winner for me in the circumstances.
 
To be a lighting designer needs a sadistic tendency. Valued talents include sourcing microscopic junction boxes and screws in teeny ready to throw-away bags. After all, bell-wire fits inside most connectors adequately. Experience of the real world a disadvantage.
