Hi guys, I tried packing the back of a staircase with some plasterboard to give a consistent effect with my walls but to be honest it looked naff in that I had 3 joins to blend in with filler and besides it stomached a little. The stomaching issue i can solve by adding 2x2 batons behind and...

Now that is one sleek looking restroom. I myself am doing some diy on a restroom and need to box in some flexi water pipes. Cant wait until its finished. Btw have you used decorative cladding for the walls?

O so basically 45 and 90 are just set indicators on the tools i.e. you can infact set the angle anywhere between 0-90 degrees? Likewise what would you recommed from say screwfix that is not too expensive and that would do the job of cutting 150mm skirting

Hi guys I am wanting a miter saw regardless of it being manual or powered which can be set at any angle not specific to 45 and 90 degrees etc Also a question, wouldnt 90 degrees just be a straight cut into the piece making it pretty impossible to do? I am wanting somehting not too...

O just a note, the holes were cut out by hand not a hole saw :P

Rocky thanks for the compliment, everything has been self taught ;) btw everything you see apart from the mains electricity is done by myself. Regarding the single wire, I have junction boxes in place so have a single 1.5 coming off each junction box and into the lighting unit

As you can see they dont look too bad from here. Even when in the premises they dont look too bad unless you concentrate on the ones im concerned about or you look at the two that give off the hologram

RF, are you on about the main wire going into the unit or the individual cores i.e. live neutral and earth btw here are the images

Rocky the hole is as big as it states in the panflet thing Regarding the the off cut plasterboard this was the very first thing i did when i got the lights in the first place. They seemed ok at the time, even like i mention around 10 out of 16 of the lights ive fixed are nice and snug, its...

Rocky, that is exactly what happened at first. The clips would twist and come out However I managed to stick to a technique where that no longer happened however some of the out of 16, around 4-5 are not as snug as they should be but seem as though they can be easily mended with even a...

rocky the picture works for me. Just go to Kanlux.eu and type Ralf DL220 Btw I have tried Rockys method by doubling the plaster board but no change. Do you think there are any clips out there that could probably fit my light units?

rocky its a very light unit. The clips are not clips, they are very simple spring type things that you normall get on GU10 lights. Here is a picture http://www.kanlux.eu/photos/produkty/big/04820.jpg

right just tried the doubling up, its not working. What would you suggest now? the caulk/sealant or shall i use some grab adhesive?

rocky i didnt actually think of doubling the plaster board before, I think i will give it a try, if it doesnt work i will just caulk it.

O i wasnt thinking of sealing around the rim. I was htinking of pulling down the unit a little, sqeeze a small drop of either caulk, or any adhesive and push it back up again i.e. you wipe off any that squeezes out of the rim. So Ideally a drop on each side which needs pushing in

lol I made sure the GU10 style downlights I got had the quick release thing on them. I have a lighting outlet near me who sells them for £3 including a bulb and give you the option of having them mains powered. Also these units I have i.e. the ones that take the large dual energy savers, they...

btw that was meant to say the rim hasnt bent. Regarding your technique, i think i do know what your on about. I was actually attempting this with the first fixture too but i guess the spring were rubbish and kept slipping out. Basically with my index finger i bend the springs up and start...

in the ceiling. Well not all 30 in one, I have one ceiling which is split in two parts where there are 8 lights in each part. The other ceiling again is split in two parts where 8 are in one section and 6 in a line in the other section. Btw I realised that the first light fixture ended up...

also jsut to note that the rim has bent but more than anything i get scared incase i over chip the ceiling.
