The Electrical Safety Council recommends that fire rated options should be used in all buildings even though fire resistant downlights are not legally needed under a roof void.

The fire rating of a downlight has to match the fire rating of the ceiling, maintaining its minimum period of fire resistance. Typically fire resistance for a standard home (not a block of flats) is 60 minutes.
