Lighting connection solution

[astvillain]

Hello everyone

I am a DIYer and I'm hoping this question will be a really simple answer for an experience electrician. But as 'you don't know what you don't know' here goes.

I am wanting to put a chandelier up in a room. I have installed a separate weight bearing ring bolt to a joist to take the weight. Now what ideally I would like is - instead of 'permanently' wiring the lighting wire of the chandelier into the existing ceiling light rosette, if there was some kind of safe connector that would allow me to unplug the chandelier from the rosette at times I want to take the chandelier down (which I anticipate needing to do for cleaning fairly regularly).

I'm thinking of something like the ABB connectors you get on outdoor tools, with male and female ends, but not as large and obstrusive. I need to the ceiling rosette end to be safe when the chandelier is unplugged so no chance of getting electrocuted, but also a simple mechanism that won't involve me up a ladder with a screwdriver every time I want to remove the chandelier.

Any thoughts?

Thanks

Al

What about replacing the rose with a 5A round pin socket and just sticking a plug on the chandelier cord? Might look a bit like British Home stores but would be dead easy to take down.

What about this?

Have you chosen a light fitting as you have fitted this eye in the ceiling, why are you not fitting the light in place of existing ?.

Presumably he is doing something like this:

Or there wasn't a joist to screw the ring into.

How about a feather duster for regular cleaning, say weekly, so that cleaning thoroughly is not an issue, certainly an easier option.

I was thinking, just the feather duster but if they come in one package, it would be rude to decline the service!
