Hi,

My father has used a circular piece of wood to attach to the ceiling, to which he then attaches the pattress of the ceiling light. It is done for a more secure fastening to the ceiling, which in comparison to simply attaching the pattress to the plaster i would have to agree (as we have had several fall down). However, I think it's an unattractive option...are there any better suggestions? Apologies in advance if this is a very simple question, but as my user id suggests i am really new to diy!
