I am about to replace hall and stair landing ceiling lights. Upstairs landing light is currently a standard flex and bulb socket type, but there is also an ornamental ceiling rose attached to the ceiling, with the flex coming out through a hole in the plaster/polystyrene ceiling rose.
The ground floor hallway ceiling light is a chandelier style, with a metal hook arrangement, which also has an ornamental ceiling rose attached to the ceiling, obviously with a hole cut in the rose to allow the metal hook and ring piece to protrude through.
Question is, how to now fit new Chandelier style light fittings - the ones that come with a bracket/fixing strip that would normally sit flush with the ceiling plasterboard?
Downstairs I could utilise the existing Ring and Hook and just re-wire my light fitting to the existing Lighting Flex with one of those small joining/junction blocks - although you would be able to see this.
If I could be confident that there was a wooden block above the existing light positions I could drill up through the Ceiling Rose, through the Ceiling, and fix to that.....
Help!
