What I am thinking of doing is removing the ceiling rose

Is this a dangerous experiment?

Why not simply give the room a couple of standard lamps plugged into AC
sockets until you can get around to fixing.

The room most affected is the bathroom;
and putting a standard lamp in there seemed to me more dangerous
than what I am suggesting.


Then if it is a bathroom ... that is a non-no

Personally I would not advise a bodge on any bathroom cct .... do it right
or use battery powered lights until you can .... B&Q sell ones designed for
lofts & under stairs ...
