Heat resistant sleeving required in bulkhead lights?

[TTbangbang]

Hello all, Season's Greeetings! I'm not too early am I?! :C

I am installing bulkhead lights (indoors). My older outside ones do not have heat resistant sleeving over the wires, but the new ones I have bought came with short lengths of sleeves (white braid-like things).

Unfortunately the sleeves have gone missing (either the cat or the mice) - is it imperative that I acquire some more (have not found them anywhere and am still awaiting response from RS Electricals)? The bulbs are 40W.

Thank you for any advice on this (and where I can find some more if need be). :x

Buy some more lengths, keep a bit for future use. Heat Resistant Cable Sleeving

You are a star, thank you - I had missed that site (as pro-QVS).

Hello you,

Yes all well here, still plodding on intermittently with the re-wire :slap It has been a while since I was last here, the emoticons have improved!

I wonder if many people choose to have bulkheads in their bathroom

Hope business is going well for you

LOL, still learning to drive, giving Tash advice when needed, still being a general PITA to everyone. You sound worse than Me when it comes to rewiring, My mum asked Me to find out how much it would cost for someone to rewire her house:_| X( :coat
