Hi all,
I want to install three downlights in my upstairs spare room to provide feature lighting for three bookcases.
The ceiling space above the room is just a loft void and is currently covered with 280mm of insulation, with joist spacing of 400mm
Looking over several topics on this forum (Fuse size for 2 (& for 3) 50W downlights on 240V ring main, Downlighters and building regs) and others forums, I was just looking for confirmation regarding my proposed installation.
I'm going to remove a section of the 100mm lower layer of insulation to accommodate the LoftCap and a fire rated downlight. This will then be covered with the upper layer of 180mm of insulation.
I'm not looking to install Halogen bulbs, so I'm looking for LED based lighting and currently considering the following brands:-
A JCC downlight probably JC94066, Firestop DLFR50GUW or Click LFFG2GUW.
I'm I going about things the right way, as one of the manuals I downloaded for JCC said that a Fireguard loft brace was recommended?
Have I missed anything else that I need to consider?
Also, am I missing something, are the JCC lights very expensive?
Thanks in advance for any comments.
