[QUOTE="Evans Electric, post: 387638, member: 1408"] I was thinking of gluing a peice of wood on the inside & screwing an LED Fern Howard to it ....my thanks for the info on all the glues but I think I'll use the roofing screws through from outside . I'd hate to get the phone call that all fittings are swinging loose after a blazing hot summer. I did a stupid thing years ago (Well did a lot of stupid things TBH , this was one of them ) ... 1st fixed an office in an old building in twin /earth ...thinking containing the connectors for the heat resist flexes I used up a load of old PVC 25mm conduit boxes , flush at each point. Fittings were to be some sort of circular things. Ceilings up & plastered , the fittings were those round , metal gallery...60W ES GLS lamp ....substantial cut glass type cover fixed with a half turn . After being on for half a day , the heat from the enclosed 60W lamps softened the PVC conduit boxes and the brass M4 inserts all dropped out . About 12 fittings , all still working , hanging from the ceiling on their flexes :o [/QUOTE]
