LED Mitt Downlight Cover Combinations

IMPORTANT! There maybe other cheaper products on the market, but they may not comply to AS/NZS 5110 Barrier Standard, they also need to be assembled on site and they normally do not have a place to cable tie control gear..  Be sure to check that you are comparing our product with a Cover that complies to the barrier standard called up by AS/NZS 60598.

 

LED Mitt installed with Iron Core TransformerOur Downlight cover products are restrictive on air flow and are very insulating by nature.  We have partnerships in place with Lighting manufacturers to create combination products for use with our covers to assist customers in achieving any, or all of, the below:

    • Air Tightness
    • Insulation consistency
    • An up to 2 Hour Fire rating
    • Sound proofing
    • Dust proofing
    • Installation from below the ceiling
    • A low wattage alternative to 50W Halogen

Information about LED Downlights and Insulation

Downlight Air LeakageChoosing the right downlight cover product is critically dependant on what you require to achieve.
Our Basic Mitt achieves insulation consistency, sound proofing and fire rating with Halogen Globes and our supported LED products, while our Loft Mitt and Downlight Mitt products, provide an air tight solution to selected LED downlight Luminaire products.
Our Downlight covers are made out of an intumescent material, and they have an R-value of 0.5.  (In general, LED downlight Lamps are sensitive to overheating in high ambient temperatures).  Its a good idea to check with your manufacturer regarding the warranty prior considering covering them.  The range of Efficiency Matrix Downlight Covers can shield the lamp from excess roof heat which can reach temperatures in excess of 70° Celsius especially in the Northern parts of Australia but there are negative impacts also.
Our Downlight/Luminaire combinations are designed to change the general operation of a Downlight fitting, to fix draughts/R-value consistency of insulation/ Energy efficiency of recessed lighting.
Why LED from Halogen

Efficiency Matrix Downlight covers insulate LED Downlights. How hot can 50w Halogen Downlights get? 280˚C
How does your insulation look to ensure your home doesn’t catch on fire? Like Swiss Cheese!

Installation of our Downlight covers can be done from above or below the ceiling.  Mastic should be used when installing from above.

Our downlight covers are sold in combination with approved LED Luminaires which provide comparable brightness to 50W halogen Lamps.

Refer to Specifications for our Downlight Cover Products.
