Install recessed halogen spotlights

Before you install a recessed spot, make sure that: - your ceiling is compatible with this type of installation - no obstructions will interfere with the installation - there is enough space to avoid overheating.

Halogen light installation: to do before

Make sure your ceiling can accept the installation of a recessed spot. It can be:
- In gypsum board;
- BA 13;
- Wood paneling; 
- PVC (provided it is at least in the M3 fire classification);
- Tense;
- Leaf;
- Cob. 

Between the ceiling and the ceiling and walls, there must be a gap of 5 cm or 10 cm to prevent overheating of the halogen spotlight. Before working on leads, turn the power on the board. Check for current before placing halogen spotlights.

Realizing the location of the spot
Draw the location of the ceiling spot with the template provided by the manufacturer. Make sure the location is not crossed by beams. With your drill with the hole saw, make a hole the right size. Sand the edges of the hole.
