mike2016 Posted October 12, 2018 Share Posted October 12, 2018 I was checking out my boiler with my FLIR and spotted the adjacent 5W LED downlight was rather warm. Then I checked the other 7 and they were too. They were turned off as it was daytime so what's generating the heat and is this normal? I changed them from halogen last year - MR16 to GU10 and they are two switched banks of 4 x 5W. Thoughts? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ProDave Posted October 12, 2018 Share Posted October 12, 2018 Pop one out from the ceiling and look again with the flir at the empty hole. I suspect something (hot pipes passing through?) is making the ceiling - floor void very warm and it is that warmth coming out that you are seeing. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mike2016 Posted October 12, 2018 Author Share Posted October 12, 2018 Thanks! You're spot on.....heating has been off for over an hour and no hot spots. Must be heating pipes as you say....had me worried! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
