I have built a lounge extension to my bungalow,and would like to install 6 nos recessed spot lights. After the ceiling is up there will be no access above the gyproc ceiling.When I install the fittings (240v 35watt) is there a regulation to put fireproof covers on them, and can I connect the 1.5mm Twin & earth loops direct into the connector on the fitting,or do I need to use a connector box and flex. Any comments appreciated

I always terminate into a small 20A 4 terminal junction box then to the downlight with a piece of 1.5mm heat resistant flex.
I personally don't think you'll need fire resistant fittings or smoke hoods but best to check with your LABC as they always have other ideas.
Since using JCC fire rated downlights I wouldn't use any others, even for applications where fire barriers haven't been breeched or for acoustics.

Good advice use the site pack ones from IBL, already pre - wired just terminate your t & e to the loop in terminals into the reliable transformer, no problems
dont go for cheap crap when you can get a good one for a quid more
