So you're not hanging the light above an open fire? There's a stove and chimney?

Correct for my installation. Are you asking me or op though?So you're not hanging the light above an open fire? There's a stove and chimney?
Even if it doesn't, I know it's 100% safe and it's my own house.
What is this "has to"? - i.e. what do you think happens if it doesn't?You own house still has to comply with the regs.
If I recall correctly, the flames of a wood fire are around 600°C. I really don't think there is any realistic mileage in what you are proposing.It will go over an open wood fire, so there will be flame about 1M below. I imagine it looking exactly like Fluorescence's picture. ... Could I connect the Bosch oven lamp and housing (I put picture in earlier comments) in this way? I would really appreciate a link to site that sells a suitable heat-resitant cable like the one mentioned for 180C.
What actually is this chimney?@john, It is actually a very large outdoor BBQ! But in essense the design is very similar to a open fire with a chimney.
I have the same problem but, in the manner that Lower has suggested, I have a couple (to avoid shadows) of spotlights illuminating the area of the BBQ 'from afar'.I need to light on when the BBQ is on - so that I can what I am cooking.
I think that bulkhead fittings like that often have Pyrex-type glass, so probably are pretty resistant to heat, but it's the wiring that is the main problem - which enters the fitting from behind and is presumably usually buried in whatever the fitting is attached to. Particularly if any of the cabl;e were even remotely 'exposes, I think you would be very hard-pressed to find any cable that could safely cope with the potential temperatures (and even potential flames) in your proposed application.@john, Prefer it to be inside. Argentinians appear to use some kind of Bulkhead lamp like this, but they must have a fireproof spec.
I know it is possible, because this type of BBQ is popular in Argentina and they usually have lights inside. But I can't tell what type of lights as they are spanish websites...
