I have a quick question. I have ordered some domus down lights from your suggestions. I am installing in a new build. What is your opinion on using heat shields for the insulation? Or should I cut the insulation out around and protrude the downlight through? Re: Ask a lighting design engineer - general Q&A 19Oct 09, 2015 10:50 am This is probably not that helpful sorry, but my best advice is to follow the manufacturer's instructions (should be inside the Domus box when you open it up). The instructions should tell you how closely you can install the insulation, and whether a shroud is acceptable. In practice, LED downlights do not get anywhere near as hot as halogen downlights, so they are not a fire risk in that sense. But if you cover them with insulation it affects the heat disspation of the luminaire. The main issue with shrouding that I can see is that it may restrict heat disspation from the LED heat sink on the back of the downlight, which in turn may affect performance and possibly warranty or premature failures.
