Hi!
Not sure if this is the right forum - I guess the question falls between lighting, plastering and decorating! If mods feel it misplaced, please feel free to relocate to a more appropriate forum.
I'm looking to replace the existing pendant fittings in the bedrooms with fairly standard 3 arm, chrome fittings from John-Lewis.
My question is really around how to mount the bracket on the ceiling: Will it be sufficient to use redi drivers to screw the bracket into the plaster?
I've read a number of articles on t'internet, talking about outlet boxes and sticking a bit of wood above the ceiling to fix the bracket.
Given I'm clearly clueless on this matter, would it just be safer to get a sparky in to fit them?
If I do try it myself, are there any hints you can give me to avoid electrocuting myself and / or bringing down the ceiling?
Thanks again!
