I guess you can drill holes in the UK, same as we can in the US?Are you planning to put all the downlighters within the same joist and point them in random directions, or is the ceiling suspended with some space above the joists to run cables?
Hey, brother, eBay is everywhere. My wall chaser was shipped from the UK. Didn't cost much at all for shipping. Maybe you have to pay an import duty for stuff from the US?you lot have got everything over there![]()
Probably not. My typical recessed lighting cans take either a 4-3/8" (110mm) hole or a 6-5/8" (168mm) hole. They work well for that. There is a placement tool that holds the bit "bent" so that you can effectively drill "dead centered" in the timber if you're skilled. No way to prove it to an inspector, obviously. Here's another nifty gadget you might like, along the lines of the broken mirror and head torch. It's called a "wall eye periscope". Works good in ceilings too. It's basically just a mirror with a little LED lamp built in.with reference to that looooong drill bit! im not sure that would work over here, for one i dont know if you could get that through a 65mm downlight hole without destroying the cieling around the hole,
