My girlfriend wants a pine cladded bathroom ceiling.

Don't mount any recessed halogens into a wooden ceiling with
insulation above it.
Thanks for the replies about insulation.
Now to the lighting.
Yes, it was going to be 4 recesssed 12v halogens.
Presumably they would get too hot for the installation, so will be a
fire risk?
Any alternative, or way to fit them safely?

Quite apart from the safety/flammability issues in this case,
they are appalling for general lighting, and you need good
general lighting in a bathroom, and they're horribly inefficient.

I like em, but have to agree.

one bathroom here has a single 60w luminaire. Its fine.

Another has 3x60W halogens. Its not.
