Hi,

I got myself some nice low voltage halogens that I want to fit in an
upstairs room that's converted to an office.

there's about 100mm of insulation in the loft overhead, but that is
being increased to about 200mm next week, the instructions for the
lights recommend that a clear space of 75mm is required around the
light for safety/heat dissipation.

I've thought of fixing either metal or plastic 250mm pipe (about 300mm
high) around the fittings to keep back the insulation but during the
'top up' next week I was going to temporarily cover the pipe to stop
insulation getting in (it's loose stuff being 'sprayed' into the loft
space) remembering of course to remove to covers once it's done.

Is there a better way? what would you guys recommend?

Please reply to the newsgroup - it's not my email address in the header!!

I used flowerpots over mine, not plastic ones... the lights don't need
an open space above, most of the installations are into confined spaces.
