[QUOTE="Andy1733, post: 543343, member: 34898"] Sorry OP I can't advise on any downlights to use. I've never come across any requests by letting agent to change spots/downlights though I believe HMO comply to different rules regarding fire regs over std BTL ATM I'm in the process of building a new extension on my own property and from July 2022 most of the regs have been updated so maybe this request has been due to the updated regs. Back to the OP question. What I would do is. Relocate the spots from the original holes slightly to one side of the original hole. Stick a piece of plasterboard in the square hole and fill it in n paint over. That way you can use any spot you want. Obv fire rated 😄 [/QUOTE]
