Lighting

Options
I wonder if someone can help me. I'm not very good at explaining DIY things but will try my best.

We have some quite night lights but they have blue pendants around the blub. We are going to be doing quite a big of decorating shortly and want to try and save. There is nothing wrong with the actual lights - we just want to change the blue pendants fittings to white or cream. The pendants screw off around the bulb so hopefully if we find white/cream ones it will just be a case of screwing them back on. I've tried googling but cannot find anything. Can anybody help. Thank you. :T

  • Maybe you could spray them? (Resists heat up to 100ºC)

    I cant say I have seen replacement pendant covers and ive been a sparky for longer than I care to remember !, the lampholders can be replaced but to replace the bit that screws onto the ceiling / terminations you will have to buy a complete unit.

    Easy to swap but pleeeeeeease remember to mark all the cables and where they go, connecting all the reds / browns together and all the blacks / blues together will create a rather large BANG and you'll end up shorting out the lights, if you need further help post on here for advice

    Thank you for the replies. Looking around the internet last night, we figure it's just cheaper to buy new lights.

    Please don't worry - we always use professionals in our home - chap round the corner always does our electricals ... :j
