    Recess Ceiling lights causing dust

    Yes it would be good. I am going to pursue with landlord but I bet they will just send a cowboy to patch the gaps. Now I fixed the main problem which was the light that had fallen down in the bedroom my eyes are no longer being irritated so it's a start. Cheers

    Recess Ceiling lights causing dust

    Here is another pic I took with more light. Looking again there is insulation called "Kingspan" against the top of the roof rafters but nothing on the flat part above the ceiling. So I guess you could say partially insulated. It is pointed out in epc it is very poor. But still can get D rating.

    Recess Ceiling lights causing dust

    Hi thanks for the help. Sorry but what does it mean by 0.3 meters on the light? The lights swivel and can be angled which I think is bad as it leaves gaps for dust I would not think this is ideal for ceiling.you can see in the photo I took dust around the inside of the light so even if edges...

    Recess Ceiling lights causing dust

    Hi thanks for your response and confirming this is normal (bad design I agree!) I've sellotaped some paper over the lights for now where there are gaps to stop dust coming down and see if this will help with my allergies but I think lots of dust has come down over time. One light had even fallen...
