Hi
We`ve had our flat roof extension roof/ceiling redone and i have had the wiring installed for 6 recessed lights ie GU10 type.
The issue is that above the plasterboard ceiling is a loose fitted foil thermal insulation.
Like this..

And i`m concerned of any problems with the proximity of the lighting to the foil in an electric and heat sense, also for any condensation that may build up in the cavity.
Does anyone have any recommendations on the safest way to install recessed lights with foil insulation? I`ll probably use led gu10s. I`ve seen downlight covers, should this be something that I should use. Bearing in mind that I have no access from above, only from the 10cm holes drilled in the plasterboard.
Thanks
