Spring clips for flush ceiling lights

[Joyrider1]

I have a flush mounted ceiling light (outside) in the porch cover over my front door - When changing the bulb the other night one of the spring clips that holds it in place flew off and disappeared up throught the hole into the roof space I have looked everywhere to buy just a spring clip and can't find anywhere that sells them.....Can anyone tell me where to get one without having to buy a completely new light unit?

Cheers!
Dave.

One of them?

Nah, one of these: http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/100-PACK-Robus-Ceiling-Clips...

But I don't want 100, I only need 1!

Just glue it in! It's only light (no pun intended), a tiny amount of exterior glue, no nails or similar, will do the job. Don't make things harder for yourself!

Starting to think I might just do that!

You could 'find' one in a diy store

Yeah, I 'found' one earlier but it wasn't the right size -

Gone down the No More Nails route and all's well so far...
