Downlight Spring Clips...where to get them??

[shivering]

Hey all!

I have had the joy of moving house to find that the downlights around the house have the bulbs hanging from their fixings.

I believe this is down to them being pressed steel downlights and having those annoying spring clips that are placed on top of the bulb to hold them in missing, the problem i have is....i dont know where to get replacement ones.

Can anyone help??

Ta!

Best place?

The wholesalers.....

And if you want toll-free ones, grab them from the wall displays they have - They are usually lamp-less anyway

How many do you want - I bet a well worded email to the likes of JCC would see a few freebies through your door..........

I counted 4 in the kitchen and i anticipate the same number in the other rooms, so 8 in all, i would have to double check when i go there again...JCC? Who is this kind saviour?

I cannot believe in this day and age, with all this technology and power at your fingertips that i am unable to locate 8 pieces of shaped wire, haha!

Go to any wholesalers and buy a complete downlight, you'll get the lampholder, the spring clip and the two clips that hold the unit in the ceiling for around a pound! That's what I do when I can't find a wholesaler who sell the clips seperate.


City electrical factors normally sell just the clips if there's one near you.

The Oughton Road one is not far away from the area i work in so might have to pop in there, probably wont be until Monday now but seems the best option!

Cheers for that Tim
