    Extension lighting problem

    Hi vortigern, Thanks for the reply, yes they were fine till I changed the bulb. All the lights are downlights in the main house. So no ceiling rose, would they just be wired from a junction box at one of the existing lights and why would it suddenly stop when changing a bulb? Thanks.

    Easiest way to attach 2.5mm twin and Earth to breeze block

    Tele, Am I right in thinking you have to drill a whole for every clip, does this not become very time consuming, also do you ever find they don't grip the clip nail? I have heard about these and know they are supposed to be good but never used them. Cheers
