Hi,
Sorry of the length of this but I have given it some thought but am looking to see if I have forgotten anything. Scenario:
Customer having a new bathroom and having Bruynzeel 10mm plasic cladding fitted on to a timber frame (25mm deep) and wants downlighters fitted.
1. Am fitting a hagar maintainence free junction box in place of current light fitting and taking the switched live, nuetral and earth through a fused RCD spur. Can't put RCD at fuse box to protect all lights due to location and this would comply with part P in a simple manner.
2. Am fitting 10watt led downlighters IP66 and fire rated to the new cladding, I believe that these will be suitable due to the very low heat generation based on some in my kitchen which barely feel warm to the touch after 4 hours. This will stop moisture penetration into the void which comes under part uck of the building regs.
3. Fitting fire hoods in the roof space over the holes in the plaster ceilings. This gives me a fire barrier into the roof space as I am assuming that the BS 476, part 7, Class 1Y rating of the cladding is not as good as plaster board and I will not be able to use the light fittings to maintain the fire integrity of the plaster board.
Yet again both neither the manufacturers have been worse than useless, just like manrose who's instruction manual says that a timer fan switched by the light must go through a double pole fused switch unit and when asked which of the 2 live wires went though the fuse got a big fat - speak to an electrician!
Anything I have missed? Thoughts would be appreciated from the collective.
