    So what is the best option for a replacement LED unit to cover the old R80 holes - the normal downlighter with the extra wide trim looks awful in my eyes, I have been using the ultra slim surface fittings that have the adjustable bracket to fit any hole, but they still stick out 5 to 10mm.

    Plasterboard Liner for Downlighters

    Does anyone know of any alternatives to this product? I'm after a couple of hundred units and the company that import them aren't receptive to giving a decent bulk discount, aren't VAT registered and their Companies House details don't make great reading, so I would prefer to source elsewhere...

    Downlighters Fire Retadent

    Hi About 8 years ago we had 5 G9 LED recessed down lighters fitted on the hall and stairs. I don't think in those days that they were fire retardant as I don't think that they needed to be. However, we are about to have a electrical safety test as we have put our house up for sale. My question...
