Hi,
I want to install some ceiling downlights in 2 upstairs bedrooms, but before I do I would like to know if anybody here perceives this as a fire hazard?.
I am told that it should be be OK, so long as the loft insualtion and anything else that might be up there is kept a respectable distance away? Are there any special fire precautions that should be taken when installing downlights? I have heard that there are such things as fire covers?
Secondly, I see that bathrooms lighting is rated by a zone system. What zone classification would be suitable for a downlight inside a shower cubicle and what zone would be appropriate for a downlight inside a small en-suite bathroom, outside of the shower cubicle?
Lastly, in the case of a small 1.2 x 2.5 m en-suite. What is sensible in terms of watts? The said en-suite is in my sons house. He wants 3 downlights, one inside the cubicle and 2 outside. I suspect that this might look a bit like a night game at Wembley. What do you think?
Thanks.
Paul
