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.

  • 12 volt or 24 volt supply, incandescent lamps, and high temperature wire.

    "oven lamps" are available in 24/25 volt, as are brass and ceramic lamp holders to fit them.

    High temperature wire is available, primarily intended for internal wiring of cooking and heating appliances, something like this Hi temp wire fleabay


    Alternatively consider 12 volt MR16 lamps. Lamp holders for these normally come with short lengths of PTFE wire attached, but they are available to special order with much longer wires that will reach to a cold area.
