  • Are they any other removable items/panels/etc in your ceiling? In my bathroom you can only get at the connections by taking down the ceiling extractor fan.

  • Yeah there’s an extractor fan as well. Also had a poke around the hole and this plastic thing may be it? Although it’s slightly resisting being budged at the moment and I don’t want to force it if I don’t know what it is.

  • That looks like a transformer. Sometimes the wires are caught up on insulation or something else!

    I use a lot of the EVOFire large hole fittings to convert to GU10. They cover the surrounding plaster which is almost always damaged when you remove the existing ones.

    There are smaller ones available which you add a plate to. Last time I looked the large ones were harder to find as I think they are moving over to the normal + plate to cover the larger holes.

    There is also a version for insulation. They're rated for fire and bathrooms.
