gross posted:It just seems like there should be some common part for things like that, but I haven't found it yet. Like a tiny plastic bulkhead fitting with a soft gasket that can be tightened down around the cord. If I find a way to rig something from other parts, I'll be sure to share it. There is such a part - a cable gland. In this case an 'IP rated cable gland' is what you should be searching for, I'll not try to recommend any suppliers since I'm in the UK, but now that you have a name for the part you should be able to track one down.

MaiaN posted:Now, the ikea paper leaflet has a specific slot for the neutral wire and the live wire. The wires on my hall light, however are both exactly the same. Does it matter where I plug each cable in? MaiaN posted:Another question I have is for mounting it to the wall. There are two screws, do I need to drill a hole in the wall and then put the screws in, or just screw them in? The walls I have are quite thin (about 7cm) made of terracota-like hollow bricks with about 1cm plaster covering them. PurDunamis fucked around with this message at 00:30 on Jan 25, 2008 |

MaiaN posted:I bought some fluorescent lights for my kitchen today and asked the person in the shop for advice. They said to just try, if the breakers tripped then it was the wrong way round. As for local regulations, I don't think there are any for something this specific over here (Spain). It's just occurred to me that in much of mainland Europe un-polarised sockets are the norm, so it won't matter which way around you connect the live and neutral, just make sure you wire up the earth correctly and you should be good to go.
