Onoff Posted June 24, 2021 Author Share Posted June 24, 2021 Back on thread... Never thought I'd say it but it's looking like Knightsbridge! ? The fact it's apparently IP65 is the seller for me. Then it appears quite subtle. They'll only come on anyway when the gates open. https://www.tlc-direct.co.uk/Products/GLWALL1LBK.html? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Onoff Posted June 25, 2021 Author Share Posted June 25, 2021 Didn't do much tonight, lost my homemade Starrett adapter so had to drive to my mates to get the one I made him. He couldn't find it but did find another obscure bit of steel I gave him years back which has a 1/2" UNF 20tpi thread...that'll do. All will be revealed! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Onoff Posted June 26, 2021 Author Share Posted June 26, 2021 Screw on the lamp base with a couple of M4 screws: Drill with a 20mm Starrett. The hole in the light fitting is a gnats under 20mm: Stick a washer between lamp base and post: Drill just the lamp base with a 27mm Starrett using the 20mm Starrett as the pilot, hits the washer and doesn't damage the post: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Onoff Posted June 26, 2021 Author Share Posted June 26, 2021 The duct is all run for the downlighters. I just stick my hand up inside, pop the gland through (on the end of the duct) and put the nut on. Another coat of paint to go on before that. Should look nice and tidy.
