ceiling batts over downlights

Hi all,

Not sur eif this post should be in this section.
If not could someone move it to its appropriate location.
Thanks.

I have just finished renovating my kitchen and I put some downlights. After installing them, I removed the old compressed paper around the downlights.
I was told that the compressed paper is supposed to act as an insulator.
Anyway, I have some spare ceiling batts 3.5 that I bought for the kitchen extension and I was planning to put them on top of the downlights.
The downlights are 240v, no low voltage ones.
My question is :
- can I safely cut a piece of the ceiling batts and put them on top of each light?
I am concerned about the risk of fire of the ceiling batts when the lights are on and the globes become hot.

The reason is that you can feel the cold air coming from the roof (or the hot one in summer) through the lights.

If it is risky to put the ceiling batts on top of the lights, does anybody know what could be put on top of the lights to stop the cold/hot air from coming in the kitchen?
Thanks
