Wagas Posted January 16, 2020 Posted January 16, 2020 Struggling to find some up & down lights that can be adjusted so the angle of the light can be changed. What do people with cladding do as the lights fixed to the cladding wont be straight and instead will be at an angle
PeterW Posted January 16, 2020 Posted January 16, 2020 Make small disks of timber to fit behind them and level them first. Should be easy with an off cut of cladding and a hole saw.
ProDave Posted January 16, 2020 Posted January 16, 2020 Explain to me why a light fitted to cladding won't go up and down just like that one fixed to brick?
Wagas Posted January 16, 2020 Author Posted January 16, 2020 Because cladding isn't flat like a wall?
jamiehamy Posted January 16, 2020 Posted January 16, 2020 As Peter W said, make some timber discs angled to straighten them out. (assuming a shiplap style cladding?)

Wagas Posted January 16, 2020 Author Posted January 16, 2020 I'm using hardie plank and making discs seems a bit of a faff. I'm surprised hardie don't make some light fixings to deal with the angles

Russell griffiths Posted January 17, 2020 Posted January 17, 2020 Cut the disc larger than the light fitting, spray the same colour as fitting so it looks like part of the light, easy Peasy.
