The missus was watching Big Brother and remarked how she liked a light they have in the house, I had a look and it's just a bit of conduit and some boxes.

my missus a while back saw some conduit in one of those glossy mags and wanted it in our kitchen haven't got around to it yet!

Daft as it sounds I'm pricing a domestic job where they want conduit in certain places.
They must have seen the same magazine
 
Must admit, I prefer conduit in conservatory installs over t&e in YT2 where chasing cables in is not practical.

Just looks better/neater - maybe I'm a trendsetter. (Lol)

I'd use a good thread lock compound to any threads you don't want to move!! lol!!

Think i'd be mounting it on a wood/metal plinth or whatever with a felt base, ...if you're not keen on the thing as it stands, scratching surfaces. Id use the plain cast box lids for the outrigger boxes, instead the spouted box lids shown...

Who's selling these things at a very cheeky (to say the least) £294???
 
its just half an hour with the diestocks innit...

perhaps i should knock some up and set up a stall in the new proposed craft fair in the 1976 hall at Leeds city markets....

do my bit for the existing install...

Craft fair, probably sell none. Interior designer for £100 each may be more interesting........dipsticks.
