Seal and reduce old holes in the ceiling for spotlights?
I need to replace the LED spotlights in the ceiling and the current holes are too large in diameter. I have no possibility (or desire) to replace the ceiling, so is there a convenient way to reduce the holes so the new spotlights fit?
Me too, but I need to get spotlights that don't build downward, like xerolight slim line which only builds 1mm, but I need an LED for holes at 60 mm and I've tried xerolight, which should have holes at 57 mm, but these are loose even if you tighten the springs.Raskus said:
I have done it for a few pieces (a long time ago but still remember) and used dosage caps that I drilled out with a hole saw. You can then glue them with, for example, some construction adhesive, so you avoid screws. You can paint them in a different shade/color if you wish.
Buy a tube like this and saw off stumps that you glue into the old holes. 60->57
