Demand a downlight cover to FIX downlights, and save on Heating, Cooling and Lighting costs every year!

The Halogen Mitt is the only Downlight cover & Lamp Combo product available which fixes downlight.

Installation

The Halogen Mitt makes a downlight fitting, efficient and safe.  It can be installed without an Electricians Licence and it can be installed from Beneath the ceiling.

The Halogen Mitt Energy Saver can effectively wipe out the need to use CFL downlight fittings. Our 20W lamp provides brighter light output than a CFL, while consuming only 20W of energy, and effectively fixing the major problems with recessed lighting.

How Efficiency Matrix Fix's Downlights

Common Downlight Inefficiency causes

Here is a brief explanation on how downlights make your ceiling into Swiss CHEESE, while also exposing your insulation to risk of fire.

CHEESE

Convection Currents

When your lights are turned on, heat from your halogen lamp encourages air from your living area to shoot up into your roof area.

Heated Air pressure

During cold days, opening around your downlights and gaps in your insulation enable hot air to freely pass into your roof space from your living area.  Hot air wants to go up.

Expansion of Heated Air.

During hot days, the sun creates extremely hot air in your roof area(70˚+ C), this air expands and pushes down into your living area through ventilated downlight fittings.  This effect is especially undesirable when you have LED recessed light fittings installed.  LED lamps can be damaged by operating in temperatures of 70˚ Celcius.

Excessive Air Drop

During cold nights, downlight fittings enable cold air to freely drop into your house avoiding the R-value from insulation completely.  Our house gets cooler quicker, with ventilated downlight fittings.

Spread of Draughts

During windy days, your roof can become quite windy, these draughts freely move into your living area with ventilated downlight fittings.

Exposure to Fire damage

Anything can get stuck in your recessed downlight fitting, to ignite into a flame.  Should insulation or debris get too close to a standard halogen Lamp(300˚ + Celcius), a fire could propagate very easily.

The root cause of these inefficiencies is the way standard dichroic lamps operate.

• They produce light downwards and
• they try to force the majority of their heat and a good portion of the light backwards up into the roof.

“So effectively they create connectivity of your living area to your roof area.”

The 35W Efficiency Matrix Energy saver lamp produces superior spread of light with much less heat radiating and zero light output from the back of the Lamp.
