Sandstone rear interior light

...mine has just fallen out of the roof! Anyone got one with the lugs intact please?

It is possible to fix.. Drill a hole in back of the fitting, insert a wood screw (2" long, about 0.5" into fitting, wrap some insulating tape around it and refit... Search the forum for full fix with pictures. Worked for me.

Sometimes the simplest ideas are the best

and combined with something like this cut to the correct length would be perfect.

Can confirm I also fixed mine with a screw. Been fine for over a year.

When i had mine fall out, i 3d printed two replacement arms and glued them to the casing, in the same place as the old broken arms, so far, they have stayed in place, if you have a 3 d printer, that might be an option.
