Is DIY lighting covered by insurance?

I agree. As long as all of your components are CSA-certified then your own handy work should be covered. If you want to be really anal about it. Have an electrician have a quick look and "OK" it for you and/or take pics of everything so if something does go wrong you have a record of it all.

BTW, you should have pictures (and receipts) of all of your valuable items for insurance purposes in any event.

sort of good that your considering the what if, but if I was thinking my build might cause my house to burn down doubt I'd go ahead with it.

I didn't think about it that way, very valid point. If you DIY, then maybe as stated prior, have a licensed electrician look it over.
