RE: Recessed lights in an attic room ?

["Mark Harrison" <Mark.Harrison@xxxxxxx>]

Mains voltage halogens - definitely not.

12v halogens intended for outdoor use, with the transformers mounted
somewhere "guaranteed dry" and only the LV cable run in the
"wet areas" - that's what I'd do.

As an aside, you may find that you need some barrier to meet building regs
anyway, though.

Subject: [ukha_d] Recessed lights in an attic room ?


Can anyone with more electrical know how than me answer me a question ?
I've just completely ripped off the old Lath&Plaster ceilings in
our
attic rooms.. yuck.. still coughing.. 

After replacing with plasterboard I was thinking about using recessed
lights (Halogen?) but am concerned that the rear of the lights and
hence electrical connections are potentially able to get wet etc if I
have a leak in the roof. There is no felt or barrier only the slates.

Anyone know if this is feasible or advisable ?

Marcus
