      Hi,

      This is my first post to this forum. I would like to install down lights to my unit. I am on the top floor of a 1950’s strata block, which has 5 units on each floor. Given the vintage of the building and knowing that there have been no assessments in the time the current residents have been here (one over 30 years) I can guarantee that the ceilings are not fire rated.

      Strata Manager wants me to engage a certified trade to confirm this and based on their assessment, make the call if it is viable to install down lights. If it is fire rated, then no one would want a breach – me included. But conversely, adding down lights to a non fire rated ceiling poses a risk.

      Not really sure where to go from here?

      Thoughts would be appreciated.
