I've four mains voltage downlights (IP65 rated) for the bathroom. From what I have read on here they're not exactly flavour of the month, however I'm a little unsure what to do regarding wiring them up.
The current light is a shoddy fluorescent fitting which I think is linked to a ceiling rose above the bathroom ceiling.
I've done some searching here regarding connecting the downlights, there are mentions of junction boxes etc but nothing definitive. I have a few questions:-
Can I bin the existing flourescent light and then wire the downlights from the cable feeding that?
Do I need to go back to the ceiling rose above the ceiling and take cables from that?
Should I wire them in series or parallel?
Should I use JB's for the parallel lighting?
Who do I 'notify' when have found out how to, and done, this work?
Ceiling insulation will be removed around the lights to allow heat to dissipate.
Thanks a lot
