Can I rotate the light once fixed?

I have a brass eyeball downlight that I wish to change for chrome but I am not sure if they are R80? The hole that they fit into is 10cm.
It sounds like your existing lights are for R63 reflector lamps. R63 lamps look the same as R80, they are just smaller. We sell these too!

Are the R80 eyeball lights fire rated? If not do I need to install a fire hood?
R80 downlights are not fire rated. If you are making a new hole in a fire-rated compartment you could use a fire hood. We sell these too!

We have old spots that are 16cm in diameter in all the rooms in our new house - would these be suitable for that size? We are unsure of the recess hole size behind these - are the springs suitable to hold this if the hole is slightly bigger?
It would depend on the size of the hole in the ceiling. These fit in cut-outs of 135mm but will hold in place in holes up to 150mm

I need a downlight, the problem I have is the cutout holes are 150 mm diameter.Do you have a product that would be suitable?
The clips will be strong enough to hold this fixture in a hole of 150mm. You will need to ensure the fixture is centred and you may wish to add a little caulking around the bezel to hold it firm.

Do you have a downlight the same as ref:5441 that would accept a gu10 lamp
Product Ref: 5172 is a downlight that fits cut out holes from 70-140mm and uses a GU10 LED lamp.

Can I use led bulbs with this fitting?
Yes you are able to use LED lamps with this fitting.

I have never fitted this kind of light (large eyeball R80 recessed ceiling light). How do the clips hold the lamp in place? What do they grip to?
The R80 lamp simply screws in to place in the lampholder. To install the fitting there are two spring clips which you pinch into the hole and when you push the fitting up these engage and lock it in place.

How are these fittings wired up to the actual ceiling loop wires?
There is a live and neutral connector block on the back of the fitting
