Ceiling recessed down lighters

Consideration of building regulations would be a transmission of sound, fire and air through the hole.

not to mention if fitted in a bog room, the transmission of fart gases.

My list not to.

Expensive to run.

Run very hot.

Damage plasterboard, heat.

Heat can damage springs so they start to drop down.

Heat can damage joists.

Rare cases shatter.

Forever changing lamps. Good luck with that if the heat has deformed the fitting and or made the plasterboard so delicate it falls apart.

Can be a fire hazard.

Heat can melt connections and wiring.

In case I forgot they generate a lot of heat.

Wasteful horrible things that are more bother than they are worth for 99.9% of installations.

Part of the electrical qualification now, and advice in general is to be as eco friendly and “green” as possible.
Therefore, it’s quite common for us to advise on LED lamps purely on their power saving merits.
