[QUOTE="ianmacd, post: 230998, member: 2977"] Do not replace Fire fittings with non fire ones as you have just reduced the fire rating of the ceiling and breeched the building regulations. You can not reduce the effectivness of a fire barrier. [SIZE=8px][COLOR=#C0C0C0]---------- Post Auto-Merged at 14:28 ---------- Previous post was made at 14:27 ----------[/COLOR][/SIZE] If the lamps are to be dimmed, led is much better than cfl. The cfl (megaman ones at least) take a while to warm up and should be started on full which is not always possible with the low load dimmers. [/QUOTE]
