Wall Uplighters

[markf]

Hi,

Does anyone know where I could get some wall uplighters that can be fitted without the need to chop a whole out of the wall behind to house the choc block connector?

Do such uplighters exist - all the ones I have seen require part ofthe wall to be chopped out? It's not the end of the world if I do have to chop out a box hole - it's just my walls are newly plastered and I would like to avoid this if poss.

Cheers

Try lighting shops and lighting suppliers on the internet.

But where are the cables? Are they not already there in the walls to use?

The cables are in the wall. The ends were left protruding through the new plaster at the required fixing height.

However, the actual fittings for the lights I have require part of the wall to be chopped out in order for the choc clock to be placed into the wall, behind the light mounting plate that sits flush to the wall.

I was just wondering if there were uplighters that anyone new about which incorporated a U style bracket to allow a flush fitting, but with the choc block between the wall and bracket (i.e. no need to chop out wall). My other wall lights in the house incorporate the choc/connector block in the light body.

As it happens I couldn't find any like this (nice details on the lights on web and sheds, but no info available as to the type of fixings) so decided to chop out the walls to house the choc blocks.

Thanks anyway.

Wall lights are invariably a pain to connect.

I bought my lights from Argos http://www.argos.co.uk/webapp/wcs/s...atalogId=3151&langId=-1&searchTerms=4311245..
these were easy to fit choc block outside of plaster.
