Tenmat FF130 Thermal Loft Cone


Recessed downlights are used in many Australian homes and businesses. Although they give the attractive crisp white light which makes them very popular, they also represent a potential fire hazard, especially when buried in loft insulation.

Numerous house fires have been caused by the ignition of combustibles in ceiling spaces caused by hot downlights being mistakenly covered with loft insulation and for this reason the regulation for fitting downlights has been tightened, this legislation is covered by AS/NZS 3000:2007.

TENMAT is known worldwide for the development and manufacture of fire protection products. To meet the needs of AS/NZS 3000:2007 and also allow a product to be fitted from below the ceiling, TENMAT has developed the Thermal Loft Cone.

The FF130 Thermal Loft Cone meets the latest needs of AS/NZS 3000:2007 and international test standards for a lighting product when covered with insulation. In addition, it adheres to the maximum external temperatures requested by the Australian Technical Regulator.

The Thermal Loft Cone has been developed to reduce the risk of fire caused by the overheating of downlights.

The fire resistant Thermal Loft Cones ensure that insulation and combustibles are kept away from the downlight when installed in loft spaces.

The difference in a downlight with and without a Thermal Loft Cone can be seen via thermal image photography on the right, in particular see how the excessive heat of a downlight could be a possible point of ignition.
 
The FF130 Downlight Protection Cone is suitable for downlights with cut-out dimensions of 75 - 100mm.
Internal Height 220mm
