The problem is that it's not possible to look at them in shops, or to pick one up (cheaply) to experiment with, so I hope there's a bit more experience with them out there in uk.d-i-y. The circular panels penetrate the ceiling but I can't find any mention of them being "fire rated", are there any that are? If not, what do people do? It seems that some (most?) of the rectangular and square panels can sit under an unbroken ceiling, which would be wise because when one fails it probably won't be easy to find a replacement to fit into a girt big hole. What are people's experiences with these panels? Prices seem to vary from tens of pounds to hundreds for similar light output. I'm loath to fork out for two or three at £150, or so, each. Are there any makes/models to look for or avoid? Has anyone tried the ones available in Lidl from Thursday 3rd October? No, but how about CPC? https://tinyurl.com/y3lxnghl and https://tinyurl.com/y6cmqef6 As they are mail order, you can return them under the distance selling regulations. SteveW I see the first one, at least, says No Longer Stocked (though they have quite a few in stock). Doesn't engender confidence. A bit of an oddity on their site I think - it is actually one of the promotional items in their latest mail-shot and as of one minute ago says 336 in stock! I actually got a Lidl one on the basis of returning but wanted to ask before using it at all (easier to take back whilst still sealed up). Fair enough. I'm looking at buying four (possibly six) soon, but I've been spending too much on other things, so it can wait a bit. SteveW |
