Thumbs up Re: Oven light

HI Guys,
I have been thinking about lighting my planned pompeii oven without going to expensive and elaborate lights and systems.
What I plan is to mount 2 240v downlights aimed into the oven but just behind the facia arch within the chimney vault. If all works out OK, only the occasional clean of the lens should result without excessive oven heat. These downlights in a normal household installation get exceptionally hot so I figure that they will handle the minimal heat without problems. I plan to mount them as low as practicable to shine well into the oven proper and reflect off the firebrick floor.

Neill
