Hi,
Just wondering if anyone knows what sort of globe I need for this light fitting:
At first I thought it took a fluoro with a standard , but then I realised…

Our 12sqm tiled front porch is largely exposed to rain and has tiles that get can quite slippery when wet. At the moment we have on it a thin rubber…
