Hello all - not sure if in the right forum -
I have 2 old brass R50 downlights in my hallway - very ancient looking.
I would like to upgrade them to modern MR16 spotlight (halogen bulbs)
What would be the best way to fill in the gap? -
R50 is approx 5 inches width - new MR16 is 3 inches.
Not being the best person at DIY - can I use normal filler out of a tube and sand it down, paint then install new one?
Other advice given to me was to leave it and replace with a Downlight Adapter Plate – this takes the new MR16 but the plate looks too big
Appreciate any help/advice
All the best Gary
