I am replacing some old wall lights with some new Där fittings. I was
somewhat surprised to see that the wallplugs and screws supplied were of

3.5mm. The diameters match well, but why would you use a 35mm screw with
a 25mm wallplug?

You recess the plug into the wall so that it is not putting any strain on
the plaster.


Who else does that?

Mandatory in my place with 1925 lime render and skim coat.
Failing to do so pulverises about 30mm diameter area of render around
the hole into dust.


Render?
He said plaster...
