Hi All

Been asked to install some wall lights, customer does not want me to chase cables in walls at present. It it is a downstairs flat with no access to above. My intention is install a FCU on the ring and surface mount in trunking. I want to know if any one knows of a quadrant shapped trunking that that i can run up a corner and along the coving. Not the best solution I know.

Thanks
 
nothing to stop you clipping the cable up the corner, along the top of the wall, and fitting some coving over it.
 
Only quadrant shaped trunkings I know of are in larger sizes....I would have thought MT2 size trunking tight into the corner on the vertical with MT0 along the edge of the coving would look fine. Only problem for me would be the drops to the wall lights,whatever you use thats going to look naff,would the client accept short chases from coving to wall lights?
 
Thanks for the replies might just clip it, they have said they want me to go back and chase in the cables when they decorate, why they can't wait to have the lights fitted until then I'll never know, but works work.
 
Didnt wall lights go out of fashion in the 70s?
Along with flock wall paper, pictures of Indian woman, 3 ducks and ratchet plastic rise n fall lights?

Boydy :laugh3:
 
good style never goes out of fashion. i'm still here! :1eye:
