I've installed a nummber of 50W downlighters in my plasterboard ceiling, nut they keep popping out. I drilled holes of the exact size specified in the instructions with no problem. What I don't understand is how the spring clips are supposed to work - given that they are mounted at a greater distance from the downlighter front flange than the thickness of the plasterboard (13mm). They just sit there in mid-air when viwed from above the ceiling (I can see their reverse sides from the loft). I've made sure they are attached per instructions aand not upside down but it just doesn't seem to make sense. Can anyone help ? Thanks
