[QUOTE="Jayenn, post: 430568, member: 19842"] You were right Kerching - that's was exactly my cunning plan - and it worked. I had to lift up the one clip nearest me (the one I could reach - no easy matter) and my wife, in the bathroom below, pulled the complete fitting as far down, at an angle, as she could so that that spring was trapped. I, then, managed to stretch far enough to be able to lift and hold in place the second clip sufficiently for my wife to pull the whole thing through. The rest was easy and the actual wiring was a doddle. Putting it back was also so very easy - and now I know all about lamps of this sort and how they're fitted - I hated no knowing so I am now very pleased. Binky was absolutely right - they were like mouse traps or rat traps and they hurt when they snapped back as, a few times, I let go too early. Thanks for all the suggestions offered and if I haven't mentioned you by name, I apologise. Best regards to all, John [/QUOTE]
