Hi - I'm confused about the safe proximity of downlights to joists.
I have bought these to replace old fading brass downlights - http://www.screwfix.com/p/robus-adjustable-round-low-voltage-downlight-brushed-chrome-12v/71123. They're the 12V 50W type with transformers.
Having removed the old downlights in my living room, I've noticed that several of the holes and right next to the joists in the ceiling.
The instructions in the downlight says "Suitable for mounting on normally flammable surface". However, it also says "Ensure there is at least 100mm of free space around luminaire".
So now, I'm not sure whether mounting the light next to the joists is safe?
