I'm having an upstairs room refurbished. My builder sub contracted the electrical work and the electrician has installed "LAP 3141v" LED downlights. Unfortunatly it was only after the electrician had left that I thought to check if it is ok to put insulation over them top of them. The builder doesn't know though.
I checked online and found that they are NOT suitable to be covered with insulation. You'd have hoped the person installing it would have thought about all this! I mean it's pretty obvious, upstairs room, going to have insulation above it.
So, do I tell the builder they need to come out and be replaced with something suitable for the job?
I read about covers for LED downlights. Would that be a solution?
