I have got your messages Ben. Perhaps you've not had my replies?
Sorry to go off topic, but have you received my pm/email Guy? Wanting some more lights (commercial this time). No worries if not, I'll send again or is it best to phone you on the office number? thumbup

Not sure mate. Often have difficulty reconciling PH names to real names. Not aware I've missed any recently. Give me a bell!

If it's any help, I fitted a load of 600 x 600 lights in my workshop as I picked them up cheap on Gumtree. They are for a suspended ceiling, which means that if you suspend them from wires there's nothing to hold the silver reflectors in the fitting. When in a suspended ceiling the reflector sits in the ceiling, with the panel sat on top in some sort of frame.

I made MDF frames to replicate the suspended ceiling and then suspended the frames from my ceiling using some plastic covered metal wire. Works a treat, but was a bit fiddly! Pics in my renovation thread if you are still looking at the panels as an option.

I picked up a load on Ebay mainly because they were cheap and had built in reflectors and protective grilles. Will still be a PITA to fit and maintain so hopefully can come up with an LED based solution.
