I've not long moved into a new build house, and in the living room there is a alcove in a fake chimney breast, where you can put ornaments etc. it has two spotlights, and they are roughly 3 feet off the ground. After a couple weeks here my DD who just turned 3 touched one of the lights while I was in the kitchen. All I heard was the scream, and I instantly put her hand under the tap while I phoned NHS 24. I had to take her to A&E and 3 of her fingers were badly blistered, and one was just grey looking. She had to have it bandaged for about a week and I had to make 2 trips to the nurse to get it redressed. I phoned the builder the next day to say I thought it was unsafe and he was very apologetic, and a week later his electrician showed up with LED bulbs. I thought he would maybe send my DD something, a toy or something? Is this unreasonable? I don't know if the halogen bulbs at that height are against regulations.
