Repositioning non fire rated led kitchen spots.

hertzal123
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.

    It surprised me too Andy. I haven't got NAPIT's Codebreakers, so not sure of the exact wording. But the open-backness of a fitting should bear no relevance to the closing of a hole in the ceiling. Surely it is the front of the fiiting which is relevant, ie whether there are any gaps, some have glass (which presumably is heat resistant to some extent being near a lamp) and a metal bezel, sealing the hole.  Both glass and metal have melting points well over the 800 deg  C  mentioned in ADB for sleeving and doorset hinges


    Edit,; Depending on the type of metal I suppose, this being an engineering site :)
