Hi, hopefully someone on here can help, I'm going crazy trying to figure this out.

I have 5 x old lights in my kitchen, like old round mushroom lights.
I've taken one down and measured the hole diameter, which is 140mm. I want to change these to LED, on the understanding that in a kitchen they should ideally be fire rated.

I cannot find a LED fitting that large that is fire rated, I've looked at the all the LED round panels, searching endlessly for a fitting.
Can anyone suggest what fitting I can purchase for such a large hole and fit a fire rated LED panel into space without having to fill the holes, make good the ceiling and fit downlights.

Would buying a fitting, and sealing with a fire proof silicon or something similar be adequate. Fire proof hoods are expensive. Hope I haven't waffled too much.

Appreciated.
 
Cheesecakes "plural", my mother used to make them in a 10" dish and I would never have been able to manage two as much as I loved them, that's real cheesecake not the American excuse for one, and don't get me started on Beigels.
 
I was thinking of the £3 cheesecakes you can get from shops. Make it easier on the OP.
Lemon cheesecake is my favourite..... just for info. ?
 
Might help myself to a Lidl piece?

I hope you mean, whole cake..... Just eating a piece of cheesecake is like having a small bit of a twix then saving the rest for the next day.... Just sacrilege...
