I have this repeat customer who buys these fixtures online from Italy. Fabbian is the name. I don't know what kind of boxes they use over there, but most of these I've had to drill my own holes in the mounting bracket to line up. Now I've got 4 ceiling lights with one G8 bi-pin bulb each, and can't get any to work. I found out if you touch the lamp loose on a slight angle you can get it to light, but if you seat it all the way, nothing. Tried 3 brands of lamps so far. Now I have to call her and try to explain the problem. Only good thing is when I started with her and saw the nature of the work she wanted done I told her T&M. (like these lights here are replacing recess lights, 2nd floor. Had to pull plywood in the attic, remove recess, mount boxes and rough sheet rock patch. Took all day to do two and ready the others.) Just thought I'd post this if any one has a thought or had this problem. I'll probably end up and the lamp shop to see if they can do something.
