Downlight Covers

Downlight hoods, also known as downlighters, are hoods that are fixed over the top of downlights installed into ceilings. Downlights can create energy inefficiencies as they open ceilings to the cold air above, which is especially unhelpful if that ceiling is insulated. Installing downlight hoods will reduce the negative effects of installing downlights on thermal insulation and minimise condensation risk too.

Fire-resistant downlight covers can provide up to 60 minutes of protection from flames before the lighting is affected and they even have some fire-preventative measures as ventilated downlight covers will stop any heat build-up that would otherwise occur underneath.

Since downlight hoods create an airtight seal around the light, they can offer some acoustic insulation properties between floors too where otherwise noise might travel around downlights and up to the floors above.
