Default GU10 CFL equivalents

On 5 Feb 2007 10:34:41 -0800 someone who may be
wrote this:-

I'm planning to install GU10 recessed light fittings into an insulated
(rockwool maybe sheeps wool?) ceiling (the insulation will be there
primarily for acoustics but the thermal insulation will be useful).
The lights will be in a shop, our flat is above.

I know there are fire hazzards associated with using the halogen
GU10's (either low voltage or 240V) and you need to fit fire hoods,
cut away the insulation etc - but if i'm fitting megaman GU10 CFLs
will this still apply?


You, the designer, need to cover foreseeable changes made to your
design. It is foreseeable that someone will replace the energy
saving bulbs with "ordinary" bulbs. How do you feel about the
possibility of explaining your design in court?
