Thats what I wanted to do, run a cable from a rose to the LEDS, but where can I get a transformer to replace the plug?

Hi Guys Thanks for the info, but I don't want it to plug in at all! I have a light switch with 3 switches, one controls the main lights, one controls the undercupboard halogens and I want the third to control the LEDS, so I need to be able to hard wire it in.

I tried using a stud detector, but it appeared to pick up the Lathes too!

So, if I screw directly into the baton, and fill the gap with ply or thin slices of wood, will it still be secure? I can't look from above as I am already in trouble for starting this job and messing up the kitchen and the bedroom floor above has a laminated floor Thanks

How do I attach the new 4x2 joists to the 'real' joists behind the current ceiling? I am OK to use screws? Also what difference would 8x2 make?

HI What do you mean about the lath and plaster wall? My concern is that the room is triangular and so I cannot run the timber across the width of the room using joist hangers?
