Replacing old down lighters

[600rob]

Ive got some tired looking kitchen downlighters that id like to replace with some smaller, more up to date looking led downlights.

The problem is that the existing fittings have a 140mm diameter hole in the ceiling.... far too big for what id like to upgrade to.

I don't want to take down the entire ceiling and fit a new one if that can be avoided

Does anyone know of a solution or product that might allow me to cover/fill the holes and fit some smaller LED's?

thanks

There are these converters: https://www.toolstation.com/shop/p61411 if you want 50mm diameter lamps
or larger size lights such as https://www.toolstation.com/shop/p56573
and plenty of other choices.

halogen spots

Surely not. No one fits halogen lights now, they are effectively obsolete. It won't be long before you can't even buy them.

Go bigger, not smaller.

These look like a stonking bargain - separate bezels and drivers are needed as well, but even so...

Understandable.

Although (but it may just be camera angle), the ones furthest away in the photo look like they are too close to the wall units.

Sometimes bigger is nice, usually warm white is nicer as cool white can be too much

My parents had similar fittings. They've now put Megaman Siena fittings in instead which provide excellent lighting in the kitchen: https://www.megamanuk.com/products/fixtures/led-integrated-downlights/517839/
