Hi all,
What do you guys put on EICR for downlighters with halogens in lat and plaster, I've always been under impression they shouldn't have been installed in 1st place and have them as code 2's with a view to retro fitting with leds to take the heat element out of it.... I've spoken with 2 or 3 different tech help at NICEIC and they all seem to have difference of opinions with this.... These are non fire rated fittings too.......
Also if they were to be in fire rated cannisters with halogens would this suffice also, given that there is no fire rating given to a lat and plaster ceiling but at least the halogens wouldn't be able to gather dust/combustable materials around there.....
Whats the opinions
see attached pic of what im talking about
