As mentioned above the risk of an electric shock on the transformer side of the circuit is slight, but remember the transformer is connected to the 230 volt mains supply and therefore must be treated with great caution.
When positioning low voltage spotlights in a ceiling with floorboards above ensure there is at least a 130mm (5 in) gap between the ceiling and the floorboards to prevent the risk of overheating.
When fitting low voltage lighting in an upstairs room, clear away any insulation material from around the light fittings. Similarly when lighting a loft conversion, the roof insulation must be removed from around the light fittings.
Always read the manufacturer's instructions carefully as the installation process may vary for different light fittings.
