Downlight installation: questions and answers
Why does the ceiling construction matter for downlights?
The fitting and installation must suit the ceiling and any relevant fire or acoustic function. Insulation clearances and product instructions also need attention.

What affects the quotation for downlight installation?
Fitting type, access height, control requirements and the condition of the existing circuit affect the price. A quotation should confirm the agreed investigation, repair and testing before work is arranged.
