Hi there, I'm looking to change my ceiling light and just wanted a bit of assurance/assistance. Basically I am looking to buy a ceiling light (this one in particular: http://bit.ly/1JCgTFH). Now as the description states, it is 230V. For nearly half the price, I can get the very same light...

My builder has just finished installing a set of hardwood veneered french doors which I wanted finished in mahogany. The builder said that they must be wood dyed first instead of varnishing straight on so we wood dyed them mahogany and then later applied satin mahogany varnish. The first coat...

Thanks for the replies. I'm not sure how to find out if its compatible but it does fit fine and is the same brand so am I right to assume that the MCD will be OK? It looks a little different from the front visually but other than that its similar to the others. Sparkwright - yes there will be...

Hi there, In the process of fitting new lights in my house and have just got the wall lights left to do, however these are proving a little tricky. I currently have two different kinds of wall lights fitted (one is candle bulb type and the other is a GU10 halogen type). Anyway, both...
