    Supply to summer house.

    Supply to summer house.

    Down lights and Polystyrene ceiling tiles

    Have said that I would not be willing to fit down lights unless the tiles were removed. Not worth the risk if any did go wrong. Thanks for the replies.

    Down lights and Polystyrene ceiling tiles

    Have been asked to install four down lights in a bathroom that has polystyrene ceiling tiles. I plan on using sealed LED units so that a bulb can't be replaced with a normal halogen bulb.
