[QUOTE="phil d, post: 503844, member: 27126"] Had an Ikea fitting like that, a bloody great metal thing with a 2 core cable on it, it had a small chrome round 'box' that attached to the ceiling and the fitting hung from this on a lump of that clear plastic two core at the end of which was a large metal chandelier. It may be acceptable practice to do this in the country where they originate from but it isn't over here, it was a bit like a customer who wanted two wall lights (mains voltage) over a wash basin next to a bath, 'well they had them in the showroom' he pointed out when I said that what he wanted wouldn't comply with UK wiring regs. He persisted until I suggested a compromise, I would be happy to fit said lights, and connect them to the mains if the plumber agreed not to connect a water supply to the bathroom! I'll bet you can guess the outcome. [/QUOTE]
