I guess you could inlay the wires, but either way it would not be possible to repair a broken wire. I used nylon tubing (like for the brake lines)as electrical conduit several places where future access would not be possible, and Radio Shack has several smaller sizes of teflon "spaghetti tubing" (I think). But this is an accessable area, no? Why not just run a neatly-dressed pair of wires on the surface up to the light (after you have painted the canopy)? >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> LML homepage: http://www.olsusa.com/Users/Mkaye/maillist.html
