Recently I installed numerous non fire rated Downlights in a property as supplied by the customer, the house was a 2 storey property open plan / open stairwell I had minimal hesitation in installing these with reference to guidance notes 5 which states that a floor of standard construction need not have fire rated fittings installed as it's not a fire rated ceiling, I obviously wouldn't fit such lights in a block of flats or 3 storey property, however today I have been told all Downlights must be fire rated no matter where they are installed is thus correct ?? I wish everything in this industry was set out in black and white where all contractors work to the same regs instead of all these contradictions ??? Any ones thoughts on non fire rated Downlights would be greatly appreciated !
