Daughter bought a flat 6-7 years ago which had downlighters in the kitchen - poor lighting but that is what was fitted by the builder.
She is on the first floor of a two floor block and has an insulated loft above.
Has now decided she wants better light and the down lighters have gone.
The units that came out appear to be fire rated but the cable at each light has been severely overheated with the core insulation stuck to the grey and the grey sheath going brown, the choc blocks and connector housings were brittle and broke up on removal and I need to go back to replace the length of cable from the switch to the first light.
They were covered in fiberglass insulation, no domes/hoods fitted.
Would recommend anyone who has these fitted check the installation and seriously consider removal.
Will post some photos.
