FAQ's

Do I need a fire hood if my downlight is already fire-rated?

Not always. Fire-rated downlights are designed to maintain the fire integrity of a ceiling on their own. Fire hoods are typically used with non-fire-rated fittings or where additional protection is required by the project's fire strategy or building specification. Always check local regulations and the downlight manufacturer's guidance.

Why are minimum clearance distances important when selecting a fire hood?

The specified 40mm horizontal and 15mm vertical clearances are designed to ensure sufficient airflow around the luminaire. Ignoring these clearances can lead to excessive heat build-up and may affect both lighting performance and component lifespan.

Are fire hoods suitable for use in insulated ceilings?

Yes, but installers should ensure insulation materials do not block the hood's ventilation system. The fire hood is designed to help maintain fire protection while allowing the luminaire to operate safely.

How do I choose the correct fire hood size?

The hood should be selected based on the overall dimensions of the downlight and required clearances rather than simply matching the ceiling cut-out size. Always allow sufficient space around the fitting for ventilation and future maintenance access.
