A little tricky to fathom out as I didn't receive the instructions that other people said had been emailed to them. Quite easy when you take some time to figure it out though 1) Take the small central bulb holder and manually hold the wiring bracket next to either one of the 2 lugs on the bulb holder so that the holes line up. Ensure that the bracket is on the outside of the lug 2) Approaching from the outside edge, insert one of the springs into the bracket that you are holding against the bulb holder lug. The small arm of the spring should be facing downwards, and the long arm facing upwards. The spring will now be holding the wiring bracket tight to the lug 3) use same procedure to attach the remaining spring 4) Position springs so that the long arms are oriented vertically and loosely thread the entire assembly through the hole in the larger plate. At this stage do NOT push the bulb holder home, just leave it all dangling loose 5) You can now wire up the lamp to the wires in your ceiling 6) Push and hold the outer plate flat against the ceiling 7) Ensure that the springs are facing vertically and carefully push them through the main plate and into the ceiling void until the small arms of the springs touch the outer plate 8) Push firmly on the bulb holder and the springs will do their magic and hold everything to ceiling Picture shows everything assembled just prior to connecting the wiring i.e, step 5) Review: Impressed..... - Excellent kit, very easy to fit, around 10 minutes to replace 4 crazy 1970's brass 'eyball' monstrosities we inherited in our new house. These covered the large 12mm holes the old lights left perfectly, give great light (using led gu10 50w equivalent bulbs) and look quality. I used the mains lighting connections, good to see the supplier also adds the kit for low voltage 12v connections (minus transformers).

Quality and delivered quickly too!
Very easy to install (for 240v mains), two wires and the jobs a goodun! I used gu10 4watt and they replace my old 60 watt R63 spotlights without any alteration to ceiling fabric. They are plenty bright enough in our bathroom. Technically they should not be in a moist atmosphere but we have good ventilation and an extractor fan. Just waiting to see how long they last and how much my bills fall!

Absolutely brilliant
Once sussed out how to fit the clips, so simple and look wonderful. Stupidly had plaster re-skim even when plasterer asked if I was changing the old r80 down lights in the hallway and landing.Thought I could manage with old lights! Then after decorating looked awful. Searched the Internet and found these wonderful lights on Amazon. Thank you so much. Looks like a professional job. Can't see any of the old hole in ceiling.

GOOD "BIG HOLE" CONVERSION KIT.
Arrived when expected.I fitted them yesterday and they work well.I was worried they might not fit the holes in the ceiling properly but they did. I read the reviews before buying them and I echo the remarks made by others ,that the instructions could have done with an illustration or two, but once I worked out how to do one, the other four were simple.I used the Long Life Lamp Company 5w gu10 LED lamps ,and the improvement in light against my old halogens, is remarkable.I would recommend both the company , and the conversion kits.
