Been lumbered with a problem to sort out by family.
Kitchen has 2 peNdants. They are on one circuit so they both come on together.
My sister wants to replace them with an LED batten. Problem is the pedants are around 8ft apart and most easily available battens come at 6ft.
It may be possible to get an 8ft pedant from an electrical wholesaler but I doubt they will keep them in stock and I need to get it first thing on Monday.
I was thinking therefore may it would be easier to get two 4ft battens and fit them next to each other. This will mean both holes are covered and also the wires will then be available for each batten.
Is there any reason why this won't work? I figure the battens would just work exactly like the pedants.
I presume if we just had one batten the electrical joints for the other could be made secure and left in the ceiling space?
