My son's bathroom has surface mounted downlights set into a lowered, suspended ceiling. It's a flat with another flat above.
The downlights at present are fire rated so the whole unit has to be removed to change the bulb. This damages the ceiling each time a bulb has to be replaced.
As it's a suspended ceiling which doesn't affect the integrity of the main ceiling fire break, could you tell me if the lights need to be fire rated or could they be replaced with normal downlights for which the bulbs could be replaced without removing the whole unit please ?
