Fire Rated Downlight Covers

Fire rated downlight covers are intumescent safety products designed to preserve the fire resistance of fire‑rated ceilings when penetrated by downlights, speakers, intercoms or other services. These covers expand under high heat to seal gaps and prevent fire, smoke and hot gases passing through the ceiling, maintaining compartmentation and safety in a fire event.

How They Work

Installed above or below the ceiling, fire rated downlight covers use intumescent material that reacts to heat during a fire. As temperatures rise, the material expands to fill the penetration left by the light fitting, helping to reinstate the fire rating of the ceiling system for up to 2 hours.

Key Features & Benefits

• Up to 2‑hour fire rating to AS1530.4 — helps maintain ceiling integrity during a fire.

• Simple installation — no electrician, screws or drilling required; fits above or below the ceiling.

• Thermal and acoustic insulation — reduces fire spread and helps with heat management and sound control.

• Suitable for various ceiling types including plasterboard, suspended and concrete.

• Cost effective passive fire solution — ideal for new builds or retrofit applications.
