I want to install two LED downlights (Osram Ivios LED III 10 Watt) each in my terrace roof and entrance canopy.
The flat roofs were sealed below the mineral wool insulation with OSB board, polystyrene board, and base plaster. Before applying the finish plaster, I drilled holes for the lights through the polystyrene and OSB board using a hole saw.
Is it sufficient to push the mineral wool insulation upwards with spacers to allow for heat dissipation?
I am still unsure how to secure the recessed lights, as the clips cannot be pushed downward due to the directly adjacent polystyrene.

What would you recommend?
I am also sending a few photos as attachments.

I do not know how hot the lamps get. However, I would be more concerned about the polystyrene foam than the mineral wool.

I would install suitable enclosures and then place the lights inside them... this way you won’t have any issues with mounting or heat generation.

Take a look at Kaiser Halox
