Product Description
Astroflame Luminaire Canopies stop the passage of fire and smoke, for up to 60 minutes, through luminaire light fittings in a fire rated ceiling.
Without the fire rated canopy in place, fire and smoke will penetrate the recessed light fitting in seconds and spread into the void or room above endangering lives and property.
The Astro Lumi Canopy provides 60 minutes fire protection by completely containing the fire and smoke within the cover. In normal (non-fire) conditions the heat from the light fitting can dissipate through the canopy fabric.
The fire canopies are easy to fit from either side of the ceiling and need no additional supports. They can also be easily removed and replaced for lighting maintenance.
BS 476 Part 23: 1987, Clause 5 - 60 minutes. Assessed for use with suspended ceiling system - 60 minutes. Assembly protected with fire – rated suspended ceiling system – 30 minutes.
