[QUOTE="binky, post: 17035, member: 490"] Sharp holesaw essential and go easy. Wear eye protection to avoid dust. You might also want to try grit edge holesaws - they cut through nails which is always a problem with laths. As far as the lights are concerned, anything F rated is designed to be fitted to a flammable surface (low energy lamps not a problem) - have been back to premises with ordinary downlights fitted to laths and never seen so much as a scorch mark.
