Hi All,
Just wondering if anyone has come across these downlighters at all? Trying to change all the batteries and inverters for a client, i don't have too much problem removing them from the plasterboard ceiling but putting them back up is a nightmare! The wings on the side of the fitting either don't engage on contact to the plasterboard when putting it back in the ceiling or one nanages to by complete chance leaving the fitting lopsided.
Never usually have any trouble fitting a downlighter back into a ceiling but the design of these ones are kind of baffling me and not sure what iam doing wrong. Main lighting on 600x 600 fittings I've completed and got about 25 of these ones to do. Can't reach to access the control box to the gear inside from the false ceiling on any of them some can only be accessed from the plasterboard ceiling.
Had to put one back with a wedge of cardboard and another with double sided adhesive tape, don't really want to do either of this methods especially the double sided tap one incase the fitting needs to be taken down which is why I came on here to try and seek some help or advice. Going to contact ELP to see if they can point me in the right direction but meantime I've included some photos of the downlighter and any help or advice would be really appreciated.
