I'm planning to install GU10 recessed light fittings into an insulated (rockwool maybe sheeps wool?) ceiling (the insulation will be there primarily for acoustics but the thermal insulation will be useful). The lights will be in a shop, our flat is above.
I know there are fire hazzards associated with using the halogen GU10's (either low voltage or 240V) and you need to fit fire hoods, cut away the insulation etc - but if i'm fitting megaman GU10 CFLs will this still apply? The heat output would be much less... would Building Control still insist on fire hoods since in theory halogens could be fitted?
Ideally i'd like to use LEDs but from what I've seen/heard the bulbs aren't quite up to it yet.
