[ukmark574]

hi. ive just installed down lights in my bath room ceiling witch is up stairs in my home and im worried about the loft insulation is it safe to cover the lights and is there a fire hazzard from the insulation ??????

i would not put intallation on top of the lights, you can buy fire proof covering for lights if you are worried, also with the damp/condensation of a bathroom make sure the lights are designed for a bathroom.

The lamps will have a significantly shorter life if they are kept too hot, as well. So make sure to clear a gap in the insulation around the lights.
