Repositioning non fire rated led kitchen spots.

As above,been asked move 6 spots due to new kitchen layout.The ceiling is single boarded with a bedroom above.

Just wondering if all fittings must be changed for fire rated.

    According to Napits EIRC Codebreakers,open backed downlighters in an area with a room above

    is a C2 whilst in an upstairs room with no rooms above is C3,so will fit fire hoods to the kitchen fittings.


    Well that shows the limitations of the booklet. It is electrical safety which is under consideration, not fire safety. As a landlord, I wouldn't be at all happy with a "fail" on that basis.
