    solar design

    What's with these guys. I want to buy an upgrade but they never answer their phone or return a call. They don't even bother replying to emails either. Question: Is there some secret code/sign you need to use to get their attention or have they gone to the wall.

    Loft insulation and 6W LED GU10 fittings?

    So any advice for what to do with loft insulation around GU10 light fittings with 6W (240v) bulbs in? At least one or two of them are to be under boarding too, so not much height above the top of the fitting and the boarding? (Couple of cm maybe?)
