Hi Group!

Just about to undertake the installation of an 18" plaster ceiling rose,
but I'm a bit unsure of the procedure.

I understand the piece is set with adhesive, but is first held in place
using screws. Is this correct?

How do I then fit my ceiling light to it? I guess I need a hole for the
flex, but is the light simply screwed to the plaster rose, or do I have to
a buy a bracket?

Sorry for the naivety of the questions, but I've never done this before
and the procedure isn't in my DIY manual.

Thanks for reading and helping.

I presume the hole in yours is already cut out in the middle were the cables
come through?

Screw it to the ceiling around the perimeter of that hole with 2 or 3 brass
screws,if need be fix a wide noggin to the joist above? layer some nonails
all over the ceiling rose get someone to hold it in place while you screw it
up to the ceiling.
Whatever light drop you choose the fixing should cover the brass screws and
no need for any filling as someone suggested.
