[QUOTE="Jayenn, post: 430503, member: 19842"] Thank you Doc H, you were exactly right. I've got the correct fitting - it was easy. The problem I, now, have is getting to the lamp itself. Whoever fitted this must have done so before the extension in the roof was built - it is/was a bungalow and the lights are in the ceiling of the downstairs shower room! I can just reach the one side of the unit, with one hand, and only one hand, while lying on the floor in the most uncomfortable position you can imagine, on my left side. The rafters stop me getting any closer and my age stops me bending any more than a little bit! Can't get there with both hands. Can't remove it from inside the bathroom because of very strong clips that won't pass through the hole. Can't use a screwdriver. But, just like Baldrick, I have a very cunning plan! I'll try that tomorrow, however. Thanks again, Doc - I might just get a very young, very tall, very thin electrician (even if it means selling the wife) and open another beer! [/QUOTE]
