My round, enclosed LED bathroom failed me the other day. Because it was reasonably chunky, the old celling rose didn't need to be disturbed as the light itself happily covered it.
The new one however is quite slim in thickness so I've had to make the hole behind the ceiling rose wider so that I could push it through into the loft
If it helps, this photo shows where the ceiling rose now lives. I want to put the insulation back but is it okay or do I need to buy some kind of protector or replace the ceiling rose with something else? The wires seem protected enough by the clear plastic base.
Also, there was an earth wire connected to the old ceiling light but the new one is just plastic and so has no earth connection point. Do I just put some insulation tape at the end of the wire? You can just see it in the photo.
Thanks very much and hope you can help.
