Thanks all - they are victorian solid bricks Will the above suggestions be strong enough to support a person on the roof - I'll need to go up there to do the flashings

We're replacing 12V halogens with non-dimmable 12V LEDs and I don't think these would work would they ? Am I correct reading that these are rated to 220 W ? So having 7x50W halogens on one switch is overloading them ?

Looks like they are MK

I'll whip one out tomorrow and share the pic ;)
