Hello chaps
I have been to a house today, which has (I feel) far too many downlights per room. The lounge for example has 29 downlights in an area measuring 12.5 feet by 22feet (about 4 x 7 metres for the youngsters). The lights are split into three lots, so no problem with loading. My question...

Hi all, I hope you're well!
I managed to get the attached downlight cheap from IKEA. I didn't realise the led transformer and leads were so expensive as I only need one of these lights.

I know this is something we all come across and in the past when I have needed to enlarge downlight holes, I've used a small plasterboard cutter and even a file. I have about 10 downlight holes to enlarge on an upcoming job so wondered if there is an easier way?
After some LED downlight recommendations, have been looking at Ansell Orbio 360 and Enlite E5/E5, like the look of the E5/E8
Any good or bad feedback, any other suggestions.
Need to be dimmable.
Thanks.
Hi
Have a customer who wants to put smart bulbs into tiltable downlights in his bathroom. I've not seen any GU10 tilt downlights that are suitably IP rated for a bathroom, have any of you got any suggestions? Must be a GU10 fitting as he wants to fit smart bulbs.
Thanks
