Looking to fit a couple of wall-mounted uplighters for a friend. They're lights that he bought with him from a previous property (I believe they were originally a gift, so he wanted to keep them).
Unfortunately, when he disconnected them he didn't really take a detailed note of how they were attached or mounted ("I think there was a white thing that the wires were screwed into"). What he now has is a metal plate (about 6" or 7" long, with screw-holes in it), a perpendicular bracket welded to that and the lamp-holder attached to the end of the bracket (a decorative, glass, semi-circular uplighter slots onto the bracket once it's all connected and mounted). The plate is designed to be horizontally attached to the wall.
However, the mains wires just dangle down from the lamp-holder with no kind of junction box, connectors or any way to conceal them other than the decorative uplighter.
Every light I've ever fitted (not many, but certainly a couple of dozen) has always had some kind of concealed junction box area (usually with terminal blocks in it).
I'm assuming that he's actually left a critical component at his old house. Any ideas as to how to get it sorted?
Cheers,
