Simon,
I can’t find my catalogue just now but I’m pretty sure Screwfix do what your’e looking for.

your local branch of city electrical factors will carry them in stock – that’s where we get them from.
Justa question though….are they for downlighting a sign? If so you may want to think about using swan necked GLS downlighters instead, more efficient, less glare and they look better too.

not sure if there long enough for what you need but there a bracket none the less. have you got a MIG? local metal yard usually have scraps about for this kind of thing, plus it would be custom to the exact size you need.

Thanks Dgt, not quite what i want…..
Guy that looks good, there’s a shop just up the road from me, will pop in and have a look.
I had been searching the net for electrical wholeseller, but none of them had them, and i couldn’t find BEW Balham Electrical Wholesellers on there, as i’m prety sure they do em..Swan necks would be best but i’m doing this part of the job for nowt, so need cheap as chip prices, i’ve got a couple of old ones, and may paint them up and put new bulbs in… 😀

B&Q ware house do them £5 each…. not heavy at all… why not fabricate some extensions yourself and paint? you did say cheap as chips 😉

😉
