Important notes
  • Confirm the exact cut-out tolerance, bezel coverage, ceiling thickness, driver location, insulation rules, and cable access with the product documentation.
  • Electrical, fire, thermal, and Australian installation requirements require qualified review; this planner does not certify compliance.

Formulas

  • \(\displaystyle \mathrm{Fit} = D_{\min} \leq D_{\mathrm{existing}} \leq D_{\max}\)
  • \(\displaystyle \mathrm{Depth\ check} = H_{\mathrm{fixture}} \leq H_{\mathrm{void}}\)
  • Fit and access flags are planning checks; the product datasheet and installer inspection remain authoritative.

Downlight Cut-out and Replacement Planner is a planning aid. Keep the target source, product data, measurement method, and project assumptions with the result. Confirm compliance, installation, certification, and safety decisions with the responsible professional.
