Hi All,
Just wondering if there are any electricians out there that could assist.
We are at the final point of our house build ( Doubel Storey, 2c suspended slab) and have hit a snag interm of the downlights we chose dont fit within the concrete canisters the electircian has installed.
Because of having to meet 6 start energy rating, we had to go with a LED Gimbled downlight on the ground floor, so a downlight canister was pre-layed when the suspended slab was being poured. Long story short, the electician cant fit the downlights we chose due to the canister they used being too short in depthn to fit both the transformer and downlight
Downlight: L960W/12BC

Electrican has passed the buck back to Clipsal saying the canister they used is what they recommened. Clipsal has been in touch with me saying they dont actually make a concrete canister to suit this gimbled down light.
I guess my question is where to from here, clipsal cant provide me with another downlight that is asthetical the same that will need the 6 star energy rating.
Does anyone know of a canister that should have been used? Also, can the slab not be widened with a grinder/chisel to make room for the transformer? There is around 80mm between the gyprock ceiling and conrete slab, i suggested to them that the transformer can sit in that space, but was told due it cant.
Any assistance would be greatly appriciated
Shane
