Stevie if doing new builds be careful what you fit upstairs because if you fit the wrong thing you may not get it passed. Building inspectors tend to check for the air tight ones which are usually fire rated.

The main considerations with downlights and when to use fire rated or not comes down to building regulations.

Any downlight must not, when installed become a hazard to the fabric of the building or the materials it is in close contact with.

The heat given off a normal GU10 fitting can cause scortching or fire to combustable materials near by.

Thats why they where often fitted with smoke hoods or purpose made barriers that lifted the insulation etc free of the light fitting.

Beacause of the extra work involved most people fitted fire rated fittings, where the heat was directed downwards, ok unless the lamp was changed for a normal GU10.

HMO's must always be fire rated, and any domestic houses with attic convertions or the like should have fire rated fitted.

There are only a few fire rated lamps that are L1 compliant, so greater care must be taken when fitting them.

All lighting to comply with the energy regs should have at least 40 lumin per watt
