Downlight Fire Hood’s are a requirement for ceiling lights when they are fitted to the ceiling of a room where there is a liveable space above. This is so that a fire can be contained in the Fire Hood above the light should one break out. The Fire Hoods provide protection for non-fire rated ceiling lights and down lighters. Our stock includes fire hoods in 150mm which is the ideal size for a majority of GU10’s and MR16 spot fittings and 250mm for use with larger ceiling lights.
These Fire Hoods are compliant with BS476 Part 23 standard and provide 66 minutes of protection in line with this standard. They are so easy to install; the Downlight Fire Hood’s can be folded and fitting from below through the ceiling light hole then simply sprung back out into the correct shape.
