just a quick question...

where is the best place to buy firehood from?

(and before you all ask, yes there is flat above me, so I need them)

If you are using tri iso you should keep downlights a minium 200mm gap
as it is combustible.

It is about a million times easier to use fire rated downlights, rather than trying to fit firehoods to normal DLs

I might just do that.

The problem I brought a load of downlighter already, then realised they had no firehood/protection.
