i Have recently had my loft converted into a bedroom with an en-suite, my issue lays there is very little room in the en-suite and from the floor to the ceiling is 1.8m , will 230v IP rated downlights be okay in there? Or will these have to be 12v?

    The minimum ceiling height requirement came from an old public health act to provide ventilation for gas lights and was then incorporated into building regulations.


    The requirement was dropped as generally people don’t have gas lights and if they do they are now covered by gas regulations.
