Hello all,
My name's Marie, I'm new here...
I have a new pendant lampshade with glass crystals on it. The fitting instructions say to remove the lampholder skirt, fit the lampshade, and then screw the lampholder skirt back on to attach it. So far so standard... but the lampshade weighs around 2 1/2 lbs (just over a kilo) - I weighed it in the kitchen scales.
Is that too heavy just to hang from the ceiling? There's a normal plastic ceiling rose, the cable comes out of it, and then there's a normal plastic lampholder. I don't want to fit the lampshade and then it comes crashing down on my head bringing a load of plaster with it
I'd be really grateful for advice...
