Downlight contractor packs

[Amp David]

Has anyone used these packs.

Just trying to price a job and they are what I have been asked to fit. Way cheaper than buying individually, but is there a reason for this? Are they any good or not?

Cheers for any advice and opinions.

Its these i've been looking at. Are th eHalolight brand any good in the long term though?


They don't need to be fire rated either

Its the fire rated ones I use, both white and chrome.

The only fault I find is the little black cover splits on some, bit of tape does the job.....Not yet had any problems and have used a couple of hundred.

I tend to wire mine to a 'click' plug, feel the terminals may be too small for more than one wire.

The other slight grumble was they stated 35w bulbs supplied, the last 40 I bought were all 50W
