downlight

Hi all. We've been viewing houses recently and I've noticed that nearly all have recessed downlighters somewhere or other - in some cases just one room but in others they're throughout most of the house. Some are in downstairs ceilings with a room above, others in upstairs ceilings with loft...

Hi all, Got an extension about to start in the new year. There will be a new bedroom, hallway, bathroom and a kitchen diner. Want to get warm white LED downlights for the bedroom (dimmable) and cool white for the kitchen and bathroom. Also want to avoid the ones where you can't replace the...

Hi all, Over the past few years I have had regular issues with my 12 kitchen downlighters due to replacing the standard 12v lamps with 12v LED's and leaving the old transformers in place. As I understand it, the issue is that the transformers require a minimum wattage to be drawn to work...

Hello, Does anyone know how to change the bulb in this type of downlight fitting. I just couldn't figure it out. I've tried all sorts including twisting, pulling and nothing works. I've taken photos of it from every direction. Need help please.

Afternoon all, we are trying to work out how many down lights we need for our new extension. We have looked at various websites but get conflicting information. The room is approximately 11ft X 15ft with a height of 7ft, the room has a steel across the center to support the joists. We have...

Hi all, I live in a Victorian semi with original lath and plaster ceilings. They are a bit discoloured and cracked, but nothing major and still flat. They look tired though and I'm planning to overboard, skim and re-paint them. I've considered pulling them down but the house is fully furnished...

Hi, A few of my spotlights have started flickering so I'm trying to change them. The spotlight didn't have a spring retaining clip around the bulb but I was able to pry out the spotlight from the ceiling with a flat screwdriver. Problem is, I'm now having a bit of a difficult time working out...

I have some old incandescent R80 downlights in my kitchen. I'd like to replace them with LEDs. Are there LEDs that work off 240 volts without a transformer/driver so that I can simply disconnect the old fitting and replace it with the new one? This is the easiest option for me because I believe...

Hello, I have just inspected my house that my tenant has just vacated and can see that the shower downlight fitting has fallen out. The tenant has tried to refit it multiple times without success (just didn't bother to tell me!). I have tried to refit the downlight cover by both pushing it in...

Hi all, I'm currently having my loft converted and I plan to have some downlights in the flat roof dormer. Just wondering is the a way to have downlighs without cutting away the celotex? I have seen these 'low profile integrated led' ones which are quite slim. Has any one come across these? I...

Hi guys, I have five bathroom downlights. Four are working perfect, but one is faulty. After turning the light switch on, this faulty one is flashing/strobing really fast. It's like being in a nightclub. I've already replaced the led bulbs, but it still does the same. I'm not very...
