Hi guys. I need to install some downlights but don't have enough space in the void above. The lights that were there before had a white spacer slightly larger than the lights that lowered them by about an inch from the ceiling so creating a bit more headroom. Does anyone know what they are called or where i could source them please. going round in circles on google. They are eyeballs so needs a 90mm hole in it. Cheers. Gary
not sure, probably3 to 4 inches. It's in the ridge of a conservatory. It just fouls the flex of the gu10 lamp holder. They had 12v halogens in there before and the lamps are shorter.
You probably want something that you can change the lamps, but that will be limited with that depth. If you can tolerate a surface intergral LED, one that is 40mm deep 120mm diameter, it will cover the holes and may work.
Do you already have the downlights ? Surface mounting downlight exist, but not many swivel ones. (example) another (example)
Many makes of a adaptor plates for covering large holes with a smaller lights but they are normally flat but this is not what you want , like this I think,.
Is there scope for getting a tame chippy or someone with a woodworking lathe to turn something if it is only a few.?
Thanks. i didn't think to measure the full width of the plastic cover through the top, that might work as a last resort. The existing lights were the old style tilt eyeballs where a large part of the lamp is in the tilt section that is below the ceiling level. I am trying to get the same sort of thing back in so that it is just a lamp change rather than me getting called back out for a complete fitting replacement.
