Hi this is my first time on the forum. I wish to remove my ceiling pendant light and run 2 sets of low voltage led's (each with their own transformer) from the existing light circuit. My problem is that the transformer for one of the leds is built into the plug and for various reasons (too complex to to go into now) cannot put a plug socket into the ceiling. Access from above is limited but I have cut a small hole in the plasterboard near the joists so one of my light sources (for fibre optic) can go above the ceiling and onto a joist.
My question is can I put a plug socket onto the joist above the plasterboard near my light source? I would also then need a spur from that plug to power the second transformer (that bit is easy can cut the plug off and wire directly if needs be). Its a 3 storey house so there is no insulation by the joists presenting fire risk.
Also the DC lead from the transformer is not that long and have been advised by supplier not to extend it (presumably because of voltage drop).
Any help greatly appreciated
