downlighters need smoke hoods?

[george [dicegeorge]]

I may fit downlighters in an uninsulated kitchen ceiling. Do they need smokehoods? Or could I make a smoke box using plasterboard and plasterboard cement?

doesnt tell me.

Fire Rated ( 60 Minutes ) and Acoustic Compliant Downlighters is £8.50 from TLC, and not directional

Intumescent Downlight Cover is £5.80 or £10.50 or £13.65

Tiltable downlights are £3.99

aim to use LED bulbs, but someone in the future might fit a cheaper hotter halogen.

Only if the ceiling is a fire break such as in a 3 storey house.
