Thanks - I was worried about the insulation. Its a new house that was built in 2008, and has a five star energy rating - I would have thought that to get this theyd have to use the fire covers on teh lights and not have the holes cut in the insulation? Is this not the case?

hmm not sure Pandora. I thought that they still couldn't cover them with insulation as they just got too hot.
We have 2 LED downlights (I'm just not a fan of downlights in general so that was my compromise) and they are pretty bright. In fact they poo all over my mums in terms of clarity of light. Just takes them a few minutes to reach max brightness is all.

I might have to get up in the roof and have a look.
I just dont see how they could pass a five star rating if there are 40 holes cut into the roof insulation becuase of the downlights.
If they ae I will be cranky as we wont qualify for the insualtion rebate as technically we have it evn if its doing nothing due to holes being cut in!
Hmm I might ring and get one of those free assessments that the govt are paying for, that way at least I will know one way or the other.
