Aurora CX7 downlighs spring too strong

[jacoscar]

I have bought these downlights and I’ve been testing the installation and removal on a piece of scrap plasterboard

The instructions recommend a hole between 65 and 70mm and I’ve used a 68mm holesaw

The problem is that, while the downlight stays well in place, it’s impossible to remove without damaging the plasterboard

With a 68mm hole the springs are very close to the edge

I’ve tried a 76mm hole which is 6mm larger than what the manufacturer suggests and I still struggle

That's what they do. Crap things aren't they?
