[QUOTE="batty, post: 11986, member: 66"] I had look at job at weekend 15 lv downlights in kitchen dining area. Customer wanted them putting on dimmer for when they have guest. Lights were fitted 3 to 4 years ago. Took one fitting down, it was right next to joist which was seriously scorched. Fittings were not fire rated and did not have fire hoods either. I told them the fittings ideally need replacing and at least they would have to use alutech bulbs to reduce fire risk. To put them on a dimmer they would have to reduce bulb size to 35 watts and pointed out that they could have a problem with transformers humming or dimmer switch doing the same. They have these crap fittings through out the house. Its going to cost a fortune to put this right if they move. batty [/QUOTE]
