Thanks - but I think that might be too big too - it looks about the same size as the 'click' ones I have used before - its 11cm long and 4 cm wide. (They are fantastic for downlighters especially in hard to reach areas though and those ones are a lot cheaper than the ones I got several years ago...

Can't see what they are called? (or link isn't working) Thanks

Looking for this type of connector that will fit inside a light fitting, something that isn't much bigger than a generic ceiling rose. I have used click connectors for downlighters with great success but they are too big for the fitting I am thinking about using it for. It's to make it easier...

Whoops - yes 25mm is the right size! :oops:

Sorry - I didn't see your reply until just now! The ones I took off have now been thrown away and rest are covered up again so I can't really do a photo now. I came back to post for anyone else that I did get a 25cm and a 26cm spanner and the 25cm spanner is the right size (worked on the...

I do generally replace them - the problem I have is when I am attaching new pipework to existing piping and I can't get the :censored: old fittings off to that... Isn't that the same as an adjustable wrench? Which is what I have used - but they are quite bulky and in this case I couldn't get...

I have some old - I am assuming imperial- compression fittings in my house. Recent one was an octagonal nut but think previous one I had a problem with was hexagonal. The nuts on the '15mm' -assuming 1/2" - compression joints are a wee bit too big for my 15mm compression spanner. Normally I...

:)

Thanks - I am now convinced that people won't think I've lost the plot! Now planning when I go -and which shed will be the least obvious. They are relatively close together so I might do a recce first and chose my best option. I generally don't really care what people think but for some...

I need one sheet of plasterboard 2.2 m long and 65cm wide (9.5mm thick). I don't really want a join in it because of where it is (for a wall facing a door and quite close) - I would need to do a good finishing job to cover it up. Looking around to get this length I would need to buy 2.4m x...

Good luck - I hate 'playing' with insulation. even fully suited up etc. The other thing I should have said is they need a certain degree of moisture in the wood -so household condensation rising up or any leaks. The original infested wood was in an eaves cupboard next to the bathroom, 5 years...

Ok so 240v not 12v.... Then as my reply to @ericmark Finally it's PVC not rubber. Original house wiring is 1960s but those lights/the circuit would have been fitted when the bathroom was 'remodelled' -based on the decor and the age of the fan -oh and the shampoo and conditioner I found...

They look absolutely perfect - but I better measure up properly and I agree with being able to change bulbs. I would hate to have to try and match up fittings in a few years time ...

I kind of agree - why I didn't do anything with them before (especially because I thought I had to fit a transformer to them). I was trying to keep my post simple. I do have a problem with bulbs not lasting very long in a couple of fittings outside the shower - the shower door doesn't go to the...

I didn't actually paste a link! - think DIYnot or maybe firefox converted the word it into one - this should be a link to what I am looking at https://www.screwfix.com/c/electrical-lighting/downlight-bezels/cat11450001
