Lights for hi temp environment.

Allow me to begin by saying I don't like the idea I am putting forward here - it is the customer's request.

Basically, they wish to illuminate the alcove/fireplace in which their log burner currently resides.

This means drilling through the right hand cheek of the fireplace to provide access for cables. Intention is to terminate into a 13A plug to enable connection into an adjacent socket outlet.

Now, Is there any kind of lighting suitable for this? Something like a singly spot mounted on the floor shining upwards and which would cope with the local ambient temp immediately around the log burner case?

Cabling? Tri-rated or butyl rubber?

Personally I think it's a daft idea but said I would investigate the possibilities.


Comments welcome.

  • I had this dilemma when I was was considering installing lights in an extractor hood over a cooker in a large restaurant kitchen, so chef could see to stir the soup. Years ago I would have used a metal and glass bulkhead fitting with a ceramic lampholder and a rough service filament bulb. But now, I just do not know what to use in hot locations.
