  • I have a small version of the Ikea expanding globe light to put up in my bedroom. Challenge is that it requires a hook to hang from, and to operate the expand/contract aspect of the lamp you have to pull a cord, so the hook needs to be firmly in place/strong. And, the reason for this question: we had the ceiling battened, boarded and skimmed to get rid of the Artex - so I need a recommendation for a hook that can be mounted in plasterboard which can support (say) a 10kg pull.

    Anyone got anything for me?

  • heavy duty plasterboard screws, the metal ones. I have a radiator hanging on four of these middle ones (they are bigger and take about 25kg per screw, as per the package):

    Any decent hardware store should carry these.
