[QUOTE="binky, post: 391354, member: 490"] I don't fit fire rated unless actually needed, which 99% of the time is NOT NEEDED. My favourites are the twist lock fittings form Denmans, Aurora I believe. No stupid can because you don't need one, height is then determined by lamp and lamp holder. 1 house, 2 storey is 1 fire compartment. A house splt into 2 flats is 2 fire compartments, only the ceiling between the flats is fire rated. 3 storey houses and houses with attic conversions are a little more stringent, but even then the fire protection is to the means of escape ie the stairs, hence smoke detection and fire rated doors are normally needed for the hall way. This still doesn't mean you need fire rated downlighters in the ceilings. As you may have guessed, I'm not a fan of fire rated downlighters, or more importantly being sold overpriced shite I don't need, hence I have done some extensive research :^O [/QUOTE]
