I am going to have to install some recessed wall lights that are about
90mm deep. These will be installed in a cavity wall so total wall depth is not a problem. Given how close the 90mm depth of the light is to the 100mm thickness of the inner skin am I likely to encounter any problems if I just chisel out the whole depth of the inner skin thus exposing the cavity? The lights do not fix at the rear so there should be no problem there.Andrew
You might encounter cavity filling of some kind which may tend to drop down if it's the loose kind.
If so, it would be a good idea to come up with a way to keep it out of the way
Definately no cavity filling of any kind. Although good thogut. I might need to do some thing to stop it leaking when I do get around to having the cavities filled.

The other thing is that if there are any holes etc. on the back of the fitting, it may be an idea to put a dab of silicone sealer on them just to prevent air and dust blowing through. Some cavities have a howling gale blowing through them and you might otherwise get dust and insects coming through.

Not true! That's talking to yourself and expecting reasoned reponse.

Talking to myself? Are you confusing me (Andrew) with Andy Hall?

No it isn't. Getting a reply is, though.
