Building a bungalow and want to fit fit halogen downlights but was told I would loose alot of airtightness.The lighting shop said i could put a plaster board box around them over the joices and seal the edges with silicin.Wonderin is this safe as halogens build up alot of heat.I know i could go with led's but have heared the light from them aren't as good,and are alot more expensive.Anyone have any ideas to make downlights airtight safely.Any help would be appreciated.
