recessed lights

["Nikola Kasic" <nikola@xxxxxxx>]

I have ceiling mounted lights in corridor, whose glass is broken. Doors or utility room give just 5cm gap between them and ceiling, and they hit ceiling ligth, of course.

Therefore, I planned to put recessed lights instead and obvious choice was some halogen lights.

However, ceiling is suspended just 5 cm (thickness of wooden battens) and when I checked specs of halogen lights, they all require 15 cm or more for heat dissipation.

Of course, I don't want to cause the fire, so I'm now considering some half-recessed lights, but it seems that specs are the same.

I heard that there are some recessed lights that don't dissipate that much heat that could be fitted, but I couldn't find any.

Of course, I would like them to be regulated by X10 and manually from 3 switches (dimmers), so please take that into account. I cannot put any extra wires except in the ceiling next to the light, so probably cannot put DIN module.

Any ideas?

 

Regards,

Nik
