I've bought some hanging lights from John Lewis and the fittings are new to me. At the top, the pyramid-shaped cover unscrews and moves down, revealing a vertical bracket with two screw holes at the top. These look like they would screw into the something attached to the ceiling which the pyramid-shaped cover would move up over.
But what do you call this ceiling bracket for this type of fitting?
Thanks, Rob.
It's probably to attach to the vertical face of a joist. You'll probably have to lift a floorboard above (assuming there's a floor above!).
I would have thought all you need to hang them should be in the box
Ahh, end of line - I got the two ones on show without boxes.
Rob.
I would suggest something is missing - prolly still attached to the display ceiking :-)
Picky would help.
If it's like a light fitting I have then the bracket is like a piece of metal about 2 1/2 "across with two bits at the ends that are turned down at r/angles and fits with 2 screws to a block of wood that is fitted in to the ceiling ( screwed to a joist) .A dome shaped cover slides up the centre rod and is held by two small screws that fit in to the side of the aforementioned bracket .That covers the power connection. I got one from Poole Lighting ( in Poole strangely enough) ..B+Q sell their lights .
That sounds like the same thing. In the end, I resorted to a slightly heath robinson affair with a bit of wood and a lot of swearing. It's certainly not going to fall off the ceiling!
But I have two of them to fit so expect more swearing.
Cheers, Rob.
