Pocster Posted November 27, 2018 Share Posted November 27, 2018 (edited) Hey all, The builder has left me a standard light 'drop' in my loft bedroom. It's too low (ceiling height is restrictive anyway). So I purchased from ebay ( yeah I know! ) a nice shallow LED light for £10. Quite frankly I'd be afraid to install that in my house let alone a tenanted one! So I'm looking for a recommendation for something that doesn't look like it was made cheap in China; and conforms to UK regs. Any respectable lighting companies to recommend? Cheers Edited November 27, 2018 by pocster Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pocster Posted December 2, 2018 Author Share Posted December 2, 2018 Made a purchase from lights Looks far more like it meets British standards . Spent a bit more than the original £10 ( about £35 I think ) - looks trendy though and gives excellent light !! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ProDave Posted December 2, 2018 Share Posted December 2, 2018 Just now, pocster said: Led ! It was tongue in cheek. But I have often said it is a shame flourescents are so lamented as "old" and what a shame nobody has managed to make one that looks modern. Well that fitting you have shown would work equally with two flourescnet tubes and look modern. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
