Snaplite Downlighters: Fire and acoustically rated, low voltage down lighters
homecontact us Friday 8th August
 

Low Voltage SN

The standard lamp used is an Osram Decostar Alu. which reflects the heat from the fitting back into the room. The resulting low rear temperature enables Snaplite to be in contact with the insulation materials in the void without causing overheating problems. It is important, of course, for the transformer to be located in a well ventilated position.This is allowed for in the length of the pre-cabled connection between the transformer and down lighter. An IP version of Snaplite is available for Shower and Bathroom applications. This uses a BLV lamp with a front glass.

Die Cast down lighters are unsuitable for Fire Rating applications because of the low melting point materials used in their manufacture.

Snaplite’s pressed steel construction enables it to withstand the fire for the full rated period.

Mains MN

The mains version uses the same robust components and construction as its low voltage counterpart, described above. It incorporates an insulation stand-off which enables the 35W version to operate safely under insulation. However, installations should be avoided where the insulation and downlighter are compressed together. The 35W lamp gives a high level of illumination coupled with a saving in power. A 50W version is available for uncovered applications.
