R80 to GU10 downlighting conversion.

[NewMarskeMike]

I would like to convert our kitchen R80 downlighting to GU10. I understand Screwfix sell kits but I’m not sure which one to get. Also I would like some advice on how to remove the R80 housing, if indeed I do. The diameter is 180mm.

The R80 will likely pull downwards against the tension of the 2 springs, you can just see them in your picture, keep fingers clear of the springs snapping out and if possible hold them and go gentle to safe damaging ceiling.
Most converters dont cover a massive hole
