    How far do downlight cans affect lamp life?

    Looking through the fire-rated downlights out there on the market, Integral Evofire claims its canless design would let the heat off and hence optimize lamp performance and life. On the other hand, the JCC Fireguard, albeit also rated for LEDs only, ironically, still comes with a matt black...

    How long roughly do these Heat recovery units (HRU) take to install?

    I am about to quote to install this HRU. Having never fitted one before I had a few questions? 1. How long roughly does it take to install? The 162mm diameter hole will already have been drilled. There is a socket very close by and it will be in trunking, so easy. It's more the length of time...
