in need of some advise

[alex_b]

Hi, im fairly new to this site and was wondering if anyone could help me out . . .

I've been asked to help someone wire up some free standing lamps similar to the one below, straight forward i know, but they then said they wanted more than the one shade/lamp on the one plug, if this possible, as if i use a wiska box/jb they would need to be fixed, and you can't get two bits of flex into a lamp holder. Hopefully the pic works below,

Any suggestions would be appreciated

Thanks

Alex

Free standing lamp.. It looks like a lamp holder on a bit of flex clipped to a wall..

ok so i used the wrong word to desribe it,

so its plug - flex - lamp but how can i add more lamps

Looks like a botch!!!............. Thats what it looks like!

all joints must be made in a non flammable enclosure, be it wiska box,JB,or adaptable box,and the box should be secured to something,the choice is yours.

That it maybe, but they have sold a few and have now been asked if the could have more lamps linked through, thought someone on here may be able to help with idea's of how to do it

You mean people buy this crap??

i think it's a fantastic dual purpose device. take the lamp out............ instant jelly mould. can you get them in strawberry as well as orange?

 

[alex_b]

apparently so, including a bar/pub which is who has asked for multiple off of the one plug, so they don't have to go round the whole place turning them on and off, just want a few on the one plug for ease of turning on and off

These threads, are now 'common'

OP you're gonna have a nice scorch mark if you leave that lamp on the paint much longer.

This is what i ashumed, if they weren't then secured would i be liable for any damages? the only way of guarantee they were secured is to go and secure them myself.

not if you're just giving advice,advice is just that,advice.now if you were doing the job and didn,t secure them thats a different matter.
