Discuss fire rated LED light covers in the Security Alarms, Door Entry and CCTV (Public) area at ElectriciansForums.net

Wow, thanks for the detailed reply. It still feels odd he can compell you to do extra work without the test standard to refer to. - Just making it up. I've been doing a lot of research on fire ratings, and I dont think it's well known how to interpret them. There is no fire test for lights! - Only fire tests for specific floors with the lights fitted. Were you tempted to fit surface mounted lights, which attract no fire testing criteria?
HI, regarding surface mounting lights, Yes it would have saved a load of hassle, hindsight eh....
guess as there are no official products out there to protect a ceiling cutout from fire above, the only way is by using suitable fire resistance materials, showing that you have done everything possible to avoid an potential issue, the amount of smoke to some from this i guess would be minimal, and with all these precautions in place it should be the last thing standing in the event of a fire.
I still cant believe these is nothing on the market for this though, or at least nothing that is certified...
