Do you mean the round or square luminaires of the type that may be found in offices, or downlighters?
The biggest problem is making a hole smaller. If they are in lath and plaster, it's a real pain. I have also come across a very soft form of board, almost like the stuff that would be used in a notice board intended for drawing pins. I have put downlighters in it, but I fear that taking them out again would simply cause the springs to cheesewire.
So adding a supplementary question, when doing an I&T, if you are going to remove a downlighter, what steps do you take to prevent damage to the ceiling?
Hello Chris, I was thinking primarily of the smallish circular recessed downlights as found in domestic kitchens or living rooms.
