Hi
Painted bathroom ceiling today and removed one of the circular metal plate things with a view to making paint job easier. One of these more or less fell out and I could see that the spring had gone.
Went to Homebase for a replacement but new down lights are now different design. The halogen bulb in use connects to one of those SB universal fittings but the bulb with the new fitting was the bayonet variety. I swapped the bulbs over and connected to the SB and all lights work but one query. The new light fitting has a cable connecting to a bulb holder but I obviously didn't need to use that. Was it ok for me to stuff that into the recess hole in the ceiling?
Hope that makes sense.
Thanks
