shows (lower middle of page) only 4 LV Halogen lamps as suitable for
LV fire rated downlighters - ie compliant with the latest Bld Reg.

A Web search brought up Philips Masterline ES Energy Saver & Osram
Decostar 51 Energy Saver dichroic, but neither appears to hold itself
out as being for fire rated downlighters.


Not suitable for this fitting.


Thank you for your helpful reply, which leads on to the next Q - will
installing fire rated LV downlighters take me down a dead-end?
Sylvania seem to be the last manufacturer. What risk suitable bulbs
will soon no longer be made?

What chance Philips etc will come in with new ranges soon?


TIA
