LMAOHi mate, have you changed planet?
I have been reflecting on this and this is probably my best option. New surface lights can be very slim and not the bulkheads I initially had in my mind when considering this option. There also reasonably priced. Something like this may be:What about brick sized surface lights you can get? You could then perhaps use a slim wiska box to loop in and out your swa tucked into those recesses, and flex to the light and put it over it. This kinda thing... ive used better looking ones before, i forget where from
ah, didn't spot that! My current one is around 7cm too and is designed to be recessed.The depth of that one you linked to is 7cm, according to the specs. What is the depth of the one you have?
Also, it states it uses a 60W SES lamp which may not be ideal.
These can be had for sub £10 each, the ones i used were about 10mm deep thats all so barely stood off. ThatsI did contemplate that. We now have 5 of the recessed lights which weren’t particularly cheap and can’t be returned as I have used the back box…
I did like the idea of recessed lights.

Does the housing space give me enough room for a mini wiska and 2 regular glands in your view?
This is a recessed fitting like you have already, cpc sell theirs or the eterna ones arent too bad, id think the wiska box will fit, measure the depth you haveI have been reflecting on this and this is probably my best option.

Just compare depth of those wiska boxs with what youve got in the wall, looks deep enough from photos, it's going to be fiddly but looks doable.
In one end out the other, and use the brass single earth bars to pick up the armouring, probably dont need cw glands if you seal the light infront of itThe plastic housing is a brick's width/height and 7.5cm deep.
A mini wiska box is 64mm deep/high.

This doesn't leave enough room for the SWA glands if I try to insert them from the same end. Am I missing something?
Appreciate your help with this.In one end out the other, and use the brass single earth bars to pick up the armouring, probably dont need cw glands if you seal the light infront of it
Bw glands.Appreciate your help with this.
What can I use instead of the CW Glands as they are too chunky and wont fit in the space available?
