Okay guys here's one that doesn't come around very often I bet.
A customer has just asked me to core drill a Yorkshire stone vaulted ceiling in a converted cellar to put in downlights.
My first thoughts are -
What a pig of a job to core drill holes deep enough, especially if it is LV and needs transformers.
The stone will have to be core drilled and then chipped out.
More importantly................
Where does the heat go?
If the heat can't escape there is a danger of fittings and cable melting.
If melting occurrs then fire and electrocution danger.
Even if it doesn't melt the ceiling is so low it is likely to be hot and dangerous to touch.
Can anyone else think of any other reasons why it shouldn't be done?
Alternatively has anyone done it and if so how?
Cheers
