    Is this Ikea Ceiling Light Compatible with my Wiring?

However, it immediately looked a little more complex. It had 3 neutral and 3 live wires going into it (pictured) and an earth, but the...

    ...and I thought Ikea light fittings were bad

    Hi all. Got asked by a customer to change a couple of pendants in his house to something he had bought from Next. Nice enough metal twist design. Fragile glass globe shades and you get the shade retention ring tightener for those with chubby fingers. Mounting bracket has holes that match the...

    As stated, trying to install a pendant light from IKEA. It comes with a Wago thingy that states L/N.

    I'd rather install Ikea light fittings

    Than these horrible EM fittings from a national wholesaler. Designers need to try and install things like this themselves... 2x 1.5mm were a very snug fit. Beer time...

It came with a little hook to hang it from whilst fitting it, and a whopping great ceiling mounting plate. Well done Ikea (and yes that's a sentence I thought I would...

    Ikea

    Any thoughts on the Ikea solar installations. We're quoting against them this afternoon. Tbh I didn't think we'd be asked to after I'd advised the customer that if all they were interested in was a cheap installation that was black then we weren't the installers for them. (It had been a long...
