Description

Fire Cover for Light Fittings

Our fire cover for light fittings provide effectual fire protection. They are impregnated with fire-resistant material and fixed over fluorescent light fittings which are recessed into fire-rated ceilings. Additionally, they are fully ventilated to prevent units from overheating, providing effective fire as well as acoustic protection.

Its simple design makes it easy to fit over light fittings by one person within minutes. You can fit them either during installation of the lighting or retrofit to existing light fittings.

According to fire statistics, overheated light fittings and electrical faults are a leading cause of fire destruction to buildings and homes. With buildings left unprotected, fire and smoke rapidly spread and destroy rooms and properties.

When you instal passive fire products for electrical services you provide multiple benefits including:

  • compartmentalising fire
  • preventing fire spread
  • preserving building structures

The impregnated material will contain the fire, allowing occupants to safely evacuate a building and for fire rescue services to extinguish flames before they become severe.

Tested to BS476 Parts 20-23 achieving 88 minutes integrity. As part of this range, see also air conditioning covers.


Our electrical and plumbing products meet IET wiring regulations as well as Document B & E of Building Regulations tested to European and British Standards. Browse our full range of electrical and plumbing products.

Application Instructions

Lay the tent out flat on its back and thread the rods supplied through the centre hole.
With the tent laid out, turn it to its upright position and insert rod ends into the corresponding pockets located at each corner of the tent.
Place the tent over the light fitting and fit the cable through the ventilation hole, connecting to the light fitting according to the manufacturer’s instructions.
Pull the material away from the fitting over the T-bar at each corner and fix the material to the T-bar with the supplied clips. Pinch each clip with a pair of pliers to fix tightly.
For larger tents (FT4 and up), follow the above procedure, but be sure to fix in place where the tent lies over the T-bars with supplied clips.
