Fire Hood - Downlighter Fireproof Cover
With the increased use of downlighters, the integrity of the plasterboard and suspended ceilings can be reduced to approximately 4 minutes protection.
Our downlighter covers are used to restore the integrity reequired by British Standards.
Easily installed in about five minutes from below or above the ceiling
Cable entries on top, the intumescent covers are ventilated to avoid light fittings overheating
Cables can also be passed under the rim of the cover for connections to transformers - only the light fitting penetration is required to be protected, not the transformer.

Performance
Tested employing the general procedures of BS476 Parts 22, 23, and 23 (Clause 5) (1987), in various ceiling and floor constructions
Integrity results of up to 240 minutes have been achieved. Also tested to NEN 6069 (1997).
Dimensions 150mm long x 150mm wide x 120mm high
Without a intumescent cover, the light fitting would collapse in under 4 minutes allowing the fire to spread to other parts of the building significantly increasing the risk to life and damage to property, perhaps preventing insurance compensation
