DOWNLIGHTER COVERS

Intumescent downlighter covers and cages

DESCRIPTION

With the increased use of downlighters, the integrity of the plasterboard and suspended ceilings can be reduced to approximately 4 minutes protection.

Downlighter covers are used to restore the integrity required by British Standards. The covers are available in many standard sizes, and other sizes can be made to order. They are easily installed in about five minutes from below or above the ceiling. With 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.

USE

For use over downlighters and loudspeakers, to maintain the integrity of fire-rated ceilings.

DSLV Covers are made to measure for use where transformers or chokes are connected to the light fitting. Tested to BS476 Parts 22, 23, and 23 Clause 5 (1987). Integrity 88 minutes.
