I have a job to do that requires the removal of a dozen or so downlights in a plasterboard ceiling to make way for surface LED bulkhead fittings. I cannot overboard and skim as the room needs to be in use and the downtime needs to be as short as possible, plus there are existing ventilation ducts I would rather not beggar about with.
My usual method for this is to fill the hole with a circle of plasterboard held in place with a short wooden batten, and fill the gaps with fine filler. Tis a bit laborious though.
My question is does anyone know of a downlight filler plug to make my job easier and quicker. It feels to me like they should exist for these sort of applications, but I have searched high and low with no joy.
