Hi,
We've just bought a house were the lighting circuit appears to be a loop-in system, i.e. the ceiling roses also act a junction boxes. The previous owners left pendant lights hanging (no shades). On the ground floor I'd like to replace these with circular and linear groups of GU10 220V lights. Before I buy these, how do I get around the fact that I have these ceiling roses which will inevitably be in the way of the new lights? What is common practice in this case? Am I supposed to take the ceiling rose out and reconnect everything using plastic connectors? Our ceilings are plasterboard.
Any help appreciated.
