LED lights, fittings and insulation

[alex889]

I want to install LED lights on plasterboard that is directly on top of PIR boards on a 5.1x2.2 metres garage that I'm converting to a home office. I was reading that I should have clearance between the lights and the PIR board to allow air circulation, so I was looking for slim profile LED lights, but with so many choices, it is difficult to find the right product and if I'm taking the right way. I initially wanted to put GU10 LED lights in place as there is a lot of options with colour temperature, beam angle and lumens. But slim led lights there is way less choice, also the brands are a bit more obscure.

I was hoping anyone could shed some "light" here to what is the best way forward. The GU light fittings are quite bulky but I have more options compared to the slim LEDS that have an external driver. I was hoping to leave as much insulation in place as possible.

These are very good.
https://www.tlc-direct.co.uk/Manufacturers/Aurora/Aurora_DE8/index.html

They come in two sizes (3 options)

E5 are smaller and 4.5w fixed angle. 60mm hole
E8 are available in 8w fixed or tilt. 85mm hole (I got away with an 80mm hole cutter)

The fixed lights need bezels the tilt ones don't. They are all IP65 and fire rated and can be daisy chained via the "in" and "out" L & N blocks. they are all push fit wiring.

I'm in the process of fitting these to a house. Large rooms 4 * 8w, bedrooms 4 * 4.5w. Downstairs loo is super bright with just 1 4.5w. They are all dimmable with an LED compatible dimmer

They need 50mm either side and a 70mm height.

Interesting to learn about this supplier, thanks!

I'm considering Aurora also shortlisting JVV with their V50 model and Luceco with their ftype. Thanks!
