Down-lighters - fire hoods

Can anyone recommend a good source for some fire hoods for standard Gu10 down lighters, that are protruding into a loft space and surrounded by loft insulation.


ceramic plant pots turned upside down. According to my BCO...

Change them for LED GU10's and the risk goes away. That's what I did.

Let us know when LED GU10s are available with a comparable light output to a 50W GU10 halogen.

Fire hoods are not used to stop the lights catching fire but are there to keep the fire integrity of the ceiling.

I know what they are for, just looking for some recommendations if anyone has used any.

I do not doubt you, my reply was to Vortex 7:-)

I have used very few fire hoods. I always fit fire-rated lights and not firehoods where fire rating is needed. Cheaper and faster IMHO. No help to you I know, as you already have the lights installed.
