Low voltage spotlights and heat

[alfietinker]

We wanted to install some low voltage halogen lights into some wooden 'boxing in'.

However, when we bought the lights, the instructions state in no uncertain terms, not to install in any kind of flammable material ie wood cladding.

But we've got lots of pictures of wood cladding with spotlights in - so a little confused. Obviously don't want any kind of fire risk, so how is it done?

Any advice appreciated.

And if we can't use halogen lights, are LED lights OK?

make sure the fittings are suitable for mounting in or on a combustible surface - F marked - talk to the mfrs.
