Evening

Just want to clarify what is adequate for providing fire rating for lighting. My understanding is that if in an apartment block but has concrete seperation between floors there is no need for fire rated fixtures. Guy currently has some low voltage halogen GU5.3 fittings with no fire hoods and looking to convert them to Led GU10's is there any issue with just hard wiring these. Also if in a scenario where say in a split level house with floor boards and have low voltage spots below does the fact that these are low voltage affect the fire rating. Is it adequate or does it make no difference.
