LED ceiling lights

[driverman]

Looking to get a fair amount of LED ceiling lights. I know some of you swear by particular makes. I've been browsing the JCC site which i was comfortable on and looking at the FGLED6 new range. They look impressive especially the fire rated range. Are they good to install and reliable? From what I can see 3 options re finish and 2 re light output. The thing is though, cost has to come into equation. I've just tried to have a look at the LED HUT site but wasn't comfortable on that site, seems hard work getting around looking for products. any how any advice pointers etc. Thanks

in a 7m x 5m living room, i'd fit 20 5 watt SMD LEDs, 5 rows in 4 columns.

Not on 1 switch surely!

Not to sure about this..but what about the driver itself. does that get hot / warm? Am I worrying to much about the insulation?
The house will have ceiling insulation downstairs as well, mainly to reduce heat loss but also reduce noise. Approx 50 LED fittings downstairs alone. Therefore defeating the object. Was a lot easier when I was on the tools............Just a light fitting in middle of the room and if you were posh a couple of wall lights thrown in also!

Crikey, what is the house like? sounds like a coffee shop to me.

Yes I have installed 20+ in kitchens, can't imagine 50 though and dining rooms and lounges IMO look $hit with spots.

Next time I visit, I'm going to count them all up - they are all 50W so heaven knows how much the lecky bill will be!

No of course not, why would we try to stop a fire, gasp!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

LOl Reason I mentioned it was....reading the JCC site, they state that there is no need to remove the insulation off their fittings. Illustration drawing also on their site. One of their selling points.

hmm. last year was asked to quote labour only to fit 320 LED downlights in a new build. void was stuffed with 4" thick kingspan, no cut outs. i quoted £5000 so that if i got the job, at least it would be worthwhile chopping the shyte out. needless to say, i never heard back from the idiot.

that was a bit expensive quote......lolll...why would he contact
