  • I'd like to replace the standard hanging light fitting in my bathroom with so flush mounted led spotlights. Is this something that can be done DIY or do i need to employ an electrician?

  • You could do it yourself but you need to consider the roof space and the temperature these lights get to. Also, you'll have to install a transformer as the normal lighting ring voltage will cause LED bulbs to flicker or die.

    Depending on your skill level, you might just want to get someone in.

  • You need to know enough about it to do it safely and ideally test your work as you go along to ensure everything wired up correctly. If your current light is a 3 plate fitting and you understand how a 3 plate works then you should be able to carry out the work without breaking any rules. Just make sure you use the correct IP rating for the lights which varies depending on how close they are to the bath.

    In practice it's a fairly advanced diy project but the regulations wouldn't prevent you from carrying it out as long as you follow the code for safe electrical work.
