Replacement outdoor lamp cover?

biko

Gone and broke it when replacing bulb, too strong for my own good

21,5 cm across
6,5 cm deep

Tried B&Q and Woodies already.
Other shops in Galway?

Can I order this stuff online?

i would imagine its as cheap to replace whole fitting
(or are you trying to match with others)
what brand name is on the base of the fitting

biko

Had a look on the base, there is no brand name.
All other houses in the same estate have the same lights outside so must have been there since the place was built in the 70s or so.

I just need to find a close approximation that I can fasten somehow, it doesn't have to be a perfect match. Of course I can replace the whole thing but it would be quicker to find a replacement cover.
Something like this but in EU - www.progressiveinnovators.com/lightcovers/index.htm

Feck, might as well swap the whole thing. Nowhere has just covers.

Anyone have a name for an electrician that won't charge a fortune just to call out?
It's a ten minute job for a professional and I have a replacement light now.
If so PM me, thanks.

biko, if you go to the electrical forum there is a find a contractor thread sticky there with names of sparks from boards who might help. for the record you should get an external eyelid type plastic fitting from a wholesalers for under 15 euro, you might aswell get one with a PL lamp in it to save juice, this is not a standard fitting with a CFL lamp in it but a PL external IP65 fitting with a PL lamp, these are better that the CFL lamps.

Thanks, I just went ahead and fixed it with a builder neighbour. All sorted now for the price of a new fixture, a cup of coffee and the promise of a few pints
