The latest addition to the revolutionary Flameguard System from Scolmore International Limited is the IP65 downlighter. Launched as an alternative to high-priced flame hoods for luminaires, the FLAMEGUARD System is a quick and cost-effective means of providing fire and acoustic rated properties to luminaires installed in normally fire resistant ceiling materials. The high Ingress Protection rating of the new downlighter makes it waterproof and dustproof and, therefore, infinitely suitable for installation in damp areas like bathrooms and kitchens. The unique design of the IP65 downlighter allows the fitting of either low voltage or mains GU10 50W aluminium reflector or GU10 9W compact fluorescent lamps and seven different lens ring options. A choice of three coloured glass lens rings or four high quality, durable die cast lens rings provides a decorative finish and offers the installer maximum design flexibility.
In providing all-in-one, reliable and cost-effective protection against fire and noise ingress, the new FLAMEGUARD System eliminates the problems associated with fire hoods. As well as being expensive, fire hoods are difficult to fit and there have been many incidents of the wrong size hood being fitted, resulting in installations with inadequate protection.
Scolmore FLAMEGUARD fittings are as easy to install as a conventional downlighter and also sensibly priced, offering up to 80% savings for fitting compared to downlighters with fire hoods. Fire rating and acoustic performance have been fully verified through independent testing.
