Im guessing after visiting one big box store yesterday that IC rated downlights may not exist here, my question is do they stock them in Thailand and if they do where in the Chon Buri area could I get them, or are they known by another name?

 

I will need a number of LED IC rated/Fire proof downlights, and no I wont provide covers or make up something to lift the insulation,  after keeping an eye on the builders I could not possibly expect them to follow simple instructions and there is no chance im getting into the roof to check up, failing being able to get my hands on them its then pendulum style and the similar.

I've not actively looked for them, but try one of the specialist electrical places rather than a big box store, and ask for "fire rated" downlights. They will probably still need to order them, but at least they should understand what you need. Find some photos on the web, a picture speaks a thousand words.

 

Somewhere like this, it's a lot bigger than it looks, they have a massive warehouse out back and as a bonus it's next to the bottle shop: -

It's in Pathum Thani, hardly local for you 😞

 

But there's bound to be somewhere similar in your area, the bike taxi guys are usually an excellent source of information about these places, for a nominal tip of course.
