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?

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.
