This is an existing light fixture which l want to get rid of and run 4 spot lights off it into the ceiling. My question is, what is the safest way to extend the cable so l can run it? I want to put it into the wall to hide it.

I want to install 4 spotlights (IP65 rated) in my bathroom. They have the piano key connectors. Is 1mm cable sufficient or should l use 1.5mm? I've read 1.5mm can be a bit tight in these terminals.

Yes, plenty of space. Thanks

I am fitting PIR insulation between ceiling joists. My question is should the face be flush with the joists so the plasterboard is touching it or do l need to leave a gap between the pir and plasterboard?

So is this bar a complete replacement for the exististing end bar, meaning taking the glass panel out to fit it, or is there an easier way to sort the problem?

OK thanks for the input. That goes where the lead is against the wall?

What exactly are you referring to and what should l do to fix it?

It's the external wall of my conservatory. Been dot and dabbed onto lightweight block, insulation and outer brickwork.

This is where it is the worst. Plasterboard is mush and blockwork is damp. Water could be getting in somewhere. What do you reckon?

It's the side wall of the conservatory

It's double skin brick wall. Not sure about cavity insulation. The side of the conservatory.

After some advice please before l proceed. My conservatory has been dot and dabbed straight onto the exterior wall, and skimmed. There are areas which feel damp and the plasterboard has gone quite soft. Should l take it all off back to the brick and seal the brickwork with something, then re...
