Loose reading light

Recommended Posts

I was tidying up the Ollie and noticed one of the reading lights is loose. Not firm in the ceiling. For the life of me I can’t figure out how to tighten it. Any help would be appreciated. Thank you

If they are pop-rivets, they can easily be drilled out and replaced. The tools to do this are very inexpensive and handy to have around. 

Edit: If you wanted to you could drill out the old rivets and replace with stainless steel machine screws with nuts on the back side for a more permanent fix. Ace hardware could supply exactly what you need for a few bucks.

Here's the piece I ordered to relocate mine. Pay attention to the rivet material and recommended hole size. The fiberglass here is a very thin layer. If the hole is slightly oversized and/or the rivet has a steel mandrel, the rivet will likely pull through when set. To reattach, you should rotate the lamp base about 45 degrees from the original position and drill two new holes.
