installing a light fitting

redfragglebiker

Hi Guys,

Just wondered if any of you could let me know how easy it is to go from a standard light bulb and shade to a ceiling mounted light fitting. I've not got much experience of electrics bar wiring a plug but I;m generally pretty handy around the house and can turn a hand to most minor DIY projects.
I've had a look online at a few tutorials which seem okay but I was just wondering if anyone out there had actually done it and how hard it was or if there is anything I should be looking out for?

Thankyous and hug in advance

bump - anyone PLEASE????

The light fitting I like is on sale at the moment but I don;'t want to buy it and not be able to fit it *sobsob*

I think your OP is a bit confusing, because of the word standard (as in standard lamp) in it.

If I were to guess that you have a ceiling rose with cable hanging down with lamp & shade on it, and you want to change to a lamp fitting that screws directly into the ceiling, would I be right?
