Browse Forums General Discussion Re: Downlight Guards 20May 08, 2007 8:01 pm stingerrr hi are you guys saying that downlights can be a fire hazard ? The purpose of downlight guards is to keep ceiling insulation away from the dichroic lamp as it gets very hot. Ceiling insulation should be fire retardant but I have seen lots of it including wiring that blackens and shows serious signs of a fire risk. This would be the reason they need to be installed correctly by a qualified Electrician, because when your house burns down due to the faulty home self installation of downlights, your insurance will ask the supply authority investigator why the fire started. And you will want to have had them installed correctly in every respect. |
