I AM CURRENTLY HAVING EXTENSION FINSHED. IN ABSENCE OF A QUALIFIED ELECTRICIAN AT THEMOMENT CAN ANYONE TELL ME IF I NEED TO USE FIRE RATED DOWN LIGHTS IN THE LIVING AREA OF THE EXTENSION, OR CAN I JUST BUY BASIC ONES? :?:

DOWN LIGHTERS TO COMPLY WITH FIRE REGS ARE NOW BEING

Hi
You should also bear in mind that fitting low voltage downlights is notifiable work.
Which is why I am fitting mains voltage ones.
