veritywhite01 Posted April 29, 2012 Share Posted April 29, 2012 Bit of a weird one peeps, we are just packing up our stuff to be shipped & I have 2 light shades / fittings which I bought ages ago with every intention of putting them up in our bathrooms but never got round to it! They are the sort of fitting you would put in a bathroom as they enclose in the bulb. My question is therefore, do we ship them - will they be able to be used in an Aussie house?! i.e will they fit on to the dangley bit that comes out of the ceiling with a bulb on it?!! Sorry, I'm a bit dippy with matters DIY!!:biglaugh: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scary canary Posted April 29, 2012 Share Posted April 29, 2012 yes they will, as long as you have a dangley bit in the house you are moving to. Bathrooms mostly have a fitting that makes the bulb lie horizontal and tight to the ceiling or a florescent tube. Remember ceilings (in most cases) are not as high as houses back in the UK and therefore might be a hazard to health! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Johndoe Posted April 29, 2012 Share Posted April 29, 2012 "Dangley bits" in bathrooms are a no no.................fittings are flush to, or inside the ceiling. If you're talking about enclosed shades like "upside down goldfish bowls" you can buy them here for only $15 so it depends if you think it's worth shipping a "breakable" that can be cheaply replaced. Also, rentals are already fitted out with light fittings so unless you're buying soon, depends if you want to store till neeeded. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
