Re: Halogens for thickies

["Marcus Warrington" <marcusw@xxxxxxx>]

OK, so the transformer can go in the void but should not be covered
with insulation ?  What if the ceiling void is already filled with fibre
glass insulation.. ?

Also what about recessed halogens in an attic ceiling. Our ceiling has no
felt so I was going to use JabbaSqueeze blocks to insulate between the
rafters. Can I just cut out holes in this insulation for the lights to
sit in? I'm assuming that I would need to use IP65 rated (bathroom) lights
just in case the roof starts leaking ? I'd also need to mount the
transformer
somewhere accessible.. since I'd effectively have no void to put them in.
