    UK Correct lights to go into MDF shelving?

    Hey guys! I'm a bit curious the correct lighting to fit recessed in some MDF shelving. I've fitted normal spotlights before with relative ease, although I'm cautious as I will only have a 6cm gap and obviously the material is combustible. Anyone recommend anything? Cheers :)
