Hi,
long time lurker sticking my head up for the first time!
I'm after some advice on what to do about insulating my attic space. The issue is that the previous owner of the house installed lights in the bathroom (among other places) that partly protrude into the attic, along with all the associated wiring. He didn't bother to insulate those parts of the attic, so I guess he didn't have this problem, but how do I go about protecting the lights when I put down insulation? Is there a 'correct' way to do this? Ultimately I would like to board the attic floor as well as insulate it.
The lights in question are dichroics, and get very hot, so I'm concerned about creating a fire hazard.
Any pointers would be gratefully received.
Regards, Glenn.
