If I was to replace a ceiling how would you reattach the light fitting? I be never looked at one so was wondering if they fit to the board or you cut the board around and they stick to the joists?
 
Try to have the cable coming out at the edge of a joist , board with cable coming through the boards then screw the light fitting up catching the joist
 
Ok so you would cut a small hole for the wire and then use long screws that would go through the board and into the joist. Thanks ctplastering for clearing that up.
 
No problem George its what the forum is for :RpS_thumbup: they dont need to be massive screws btw just need to get a hold of the joist 10mm or what have you not like theres **** loads of weight on it unless its a chandelier! Haha
