In the first shot (ceiling light) I would have put the cable at the very

the chance of the lamp getting knocked. But a four or five foot
fluorescent fixed to the bottom of the joist would have been far better
anyway.

If 'twere my shed I'd have screwed the ceiling rose thing onto the side
of the joist and modified it with a pair of side cutters or hack-saw to
allow cable entry from side/top rather than the strange over-sized bit
of wood "bodge" but yes, twice as many clips as a back-up to not having
a roll of mini trunking in the van.

Not sure ceiling rose on the side of a joist would look much cop by the
time there is a shade hanging from the pendant! (and trunking up there
looked fugly, so I left that bit without)
