Since its launch as the first viable range of low voltage and mains downlighters to offer in-built and guaranteed fire and acoustic protection, FLAMEGUARD has developed into a significant range of fully approved lighting solutions. No similar product offers the degree of independantly approved protection against the ingress of fire, noise, or moisture, nor can any supposedly similar product offer the quality of production choice within the range that is offered with FLAMEGUARD.
More than just a downlighter       Full 90minutes Fire Rating       Integrated Fire and Acoustic Barrier

Please Note: The 12volt versions of these fittings (shown in red below) are no longer available.
However you can replace these with the mains GU version, same dimensions, and take the transformer out of line.
Use a LED lamp at around 3000K colour temperature in the mains fitting - don't use a mains GU10 halogen lamp.
If you need further help re this advice give us a call.

No special toA great deal of thought went into the deign of the terminal block used on FLAMEGUARD fittings. Both MR16 and GU10 lamps can generate high temperatures and only the best quality materials have been used in the construction of this vital assembly. The silicon sheathed conductors are fed from the downlighter into the ceramic terminal block and secured. The terminal screw heads and recesses are then covered with a GRP moulded cover which prevents detritus building up on the terminal block and possibly creating a fire risk of its owm. The mains GU10 terminal connector block provides a loop-in loop-out facility allowing a series of downlighters to be wired together without the cost and inconvenience of fitting junction boxes.

The Flameguard system is a means of installing low voltage or mains voltage downlighters with integral fire and acoustic properties negating the need for expensive and awkward to install fire protection covers.

All new build or conversion premises have to have fire-rated ceilings. The fire rating is a measure of the amount of time that a ceiling can hold back a fire before it spreads to the floor above. A fairly typical fire rating for a ceiling is 60 minutes. Of course, when you cut a hole in a ceiling to fit recessed lighting, you immediately compromise that ceiling's fire rating. The gaps within the light fitting will now be that ceiling's weakest point. Flames, smoke, and heat, will find that gap and pour through it, spreading the fire to the floor above. In order to solve this problem any holes cut for recessed downlights need to be covered with a fire protection cover. Several types of fire protection covers are now available - the woven cloth types and fully intumescent 'caps' which simply drop over the fitting. Flameguard Downlights represent a step forward in fire protection and negate the need to fit these expensive protection covers.

Once installed all Flameguard protected downlighters offer long term protection, immediately and guaranteed. There is no need for secondary inspection to ensure that the fire seal is in place. It is an integral part of the downlighter and requires no further action over and above the installation of the downlighter.
