Hi, yes you could remove the old casing and install a larger spotlight.

Andrew · Answer

You can buy downlights with a large surround that would cover a 4 inch wide hole.

Matt · Answer

Yeah you can get larger fittings, just make sure their fire rated , cost a couple quid more but not worth risk putting cheap fittings in, you’ll likely be better changing the lot or you’ll have a odd spotlight that’s larger then origanals, some manufactures for better quality spots have a range of bezels , ranging in size so thats also a option. Depends what you’ve already got in to decide easiest option

Yes, you can buy oversized downlight covers, look at electrical wholesalers TLC Direct they sell them.

Yes No problem as long as material used is properly fire rated.

It depends on the brand of lights you have. I know Collingwood do large bezels for their H2 lite downlights. You just need to change the springs to larger ones which come with the pack and fit the larger bezal over the original. Hope this helps.
