Abstract (en)

A spacer device is provided for use with a recessed light fitting to ensure a minimum spacing between the light fitting and any structural member located above or behind a panel mounting the light fitting. The device consists of a frame-like structure with two or more members (1, 2) which are movable relative to each other, e.g. by pivoting, to allow the device to be adjusted between a collapsed condition in which it can be introduced through the hole in the panel to an expanded condition. A spring can be included to ensure automatic expansion and the device can engage the hole to ensure correct positioning relative thereto.
