Hello I'm an apprentice looking for tips and techniques. I asked this question before but got no response.
When it comes to installing downlights what is your method for how many downlights you require?
Do you do the lumen calculation or are there other quick ways to do it.
Thanks.
 
As above, use neodymiium magnets. They will find the screws, and hence where your joists are. You can even leave them stuck to the screw heads while you're working stuff out.

Have a google of the studbuddy tool. Careful how you search though :)

Yes, I remember a fellow student who eventually did his PhD in degradation of rubber insulation as work funded by Railtrack who has issues with signalling cables failing (in addition to scrots stealing them).

You would not believe what he got from his naive search!
