GU10 Fire rated LED downlights

[WCZ]

after spending £600 on phillips hue gu10 lights I've realized that they don't fit in my existing fire rated downlights which look like this:

the cutout of my existing holes is 65mm
and I require a fitting with a height of 100-105mm to give me enough clearance to fit the phillips hue bulbs ( can't be any higher than this because there are beams in the way)

I've had a good search on the internet but with no success, can anyone here help?

We would not advocate fitting GU10 LEDs into fire rated fittings. Reason being is that said fittings are more sealed thus significanlt reduce the available airflow required to circulate the already smaller than ideal heat sinks on the lamps themselves.

Is there a particular reason these fittings need to be fire rated?

ah!
well, the existing fittings in my apartment (new build completed last november) are all fire rated so I thought it'd be a good idea to keep it in line with that (it's a high rise and the last thing I'd ever want would be a fire here)
if you can provide a safe alternative i'm all ears
