I want to cover my uneven (extended - 2 different surfaces) bathroom
ceiling with U-PVC cladding.

I would like to install LV recessed down-lights, with a fan light in
the shower enclosure, but have concerns about the effect of heat on the
plastic. Would the sides of these light fittings get hot enough to
soften the cladding? There is loft space above the ceiling.

Advice appreciated.

Or should I just stick up a surface mounted light fitting and open the
window for ventilation?

I have LV Halogen (35W) lamps in a U-PVC ceiling, not a problem.
