I have bought some PL lights with 18W lamps. The control gear also has 18W stamped on it. Does this mean only 18W lamps will work? Or will others work (assuming the same 4 pin shape) but fail early? Ta in advance.

at moment I'm just looking into how to go about it. I've seen a couple of places recommending flowerpots (not plastic) to house the lights, which I like the idea of. Read somewhere that this was accepted by an inspector. As for preventing condensation...........Still looking into how to...

I am looking at putting some 18W PL downlights into a kitchen that is 7x3 meters. Above the ceiling is a loft with insulation. 1) What precautions are needed with the insulation? The same as for incandescent lamps or can it be layed over them? 2) Any idea how many would properly...
