    Hi,
    I have five recessed lights in my soffit which have not worked for some time. I purchased replacement led lights which are smaller than the original lights. I do not want to drill more holes in the soffit so I was wondering is there any kind of a sleeve or fitting i can get to make the led lights fit.
    Any ideas please

    Tks Meercat,

    As far as I can see a downlight adapter plate can only be got for internal use, I cant find a supplier who has them for external use. If you know where they can be got in please let me know, Thanks again for your reply

    Perhaps the new fittings will fit inside the existing light fitting with a bit of adaptation

    Alternatively
    Screw a timber or pvc plate over the existing hole and drill a smaller opening to suit the new fitting

    This may also be possible with the adaptor plate as the plate itself could be used with your new fittings.
