spot lights

[james the spark]

Im changing some spot lights to fire rated and have found there wired in T+E do i have to change it to heat proof flex or is there a way around it as customer doesn't want any damage to ceiling and there is a tiled floor above.

You're changing from a ceiling mounted unit to downlighters I assume.

What most would do is yes get some heat resistance 0.75mm flex and connect to you downlighter. From there into perhaps an Ashley 501 junction box or a click lighting socket/plug and connect the T + E into that.

I'd go for the Clic Flow connectors, then you can connect the existing T & E in the ceiling then use the heat resistent cable to connect the new lights to the "plug" and then clip them together. Saves some messing around up a ladder with a screw driver.

There are downlighters on the market with the heat resistent cable and click flow ready attached.

changing spots for spots as previous ones were tarnished by smoke when they had a fire, yea thats the same outcome i came up with thanks malcolm.
