Downlights

[MATTMGM]

Hi guys

help please, i'm hitting a brick wall.

Need to replace some old dowlights in a ceiling due to damaged plasterboard.

What i plan to do is drill out larger holes than the original ones and fit new downlights.

so what i need help on is if anyone knows of a make of any fire rated downlights that will have a cut out hole of approximately 100mm????

Thanks

Use downlight adapter plates that can go up to 150mm wide.
They use a normal downlight but the plate holds to the ceiling.

Not sure on the fire-rated downlights of that size, but you can get converter plates that'll go in a larger hole, like this, and then maybe fit a standard sized fire rated light?:

Why not just get new DL's, move adjacent to existing holes, then board up existing holes and make good. Or get ceiling skimmed.

I have been using Jcc LED 3 with down light adapter plates. The lights and plates are about £18 each from wholesalers.
