This can be a common downlight with 2 clips holding at the left and right side. Should take down the cover before painting so that the cover will not stick to the false ceiling. In future if need to change the light bulbs, u need a penknife to cut along the edges of the downlight first before taking down the cover if not the paint will peel off. As your reno work is not completed yet, maybe can ask your electrician to take down 1 cover and change the bulbs(demo on how to change the bulbs without damaging your false ceiling) :yamseng: .

Seems you have had a long, tiring journey but keep your spirits up! Progress looks good - hopefully your defects will get rectified and you can move in soon.

I also think your selection of bold dark colours with the lighter wood seems to be paying off - Keep us updated on your final product :)
