Tight House Downlight Cover

The Tight House Downlight Covers help improve airtightness of the building envelope and are beneficial for several reasons:

• For LED's ONLY
• A Tall design:  Allows for the LED Heat to dissipate upwards away from your LED Fitting, maintaining a cooler luminaire.
• Energy efficiency: Downlight covers create an air pocket around the light fitting to allow the LED to dissipate heat into, which helps reduce drafts and heat loss to your room when properly installed. This can improve your home's energy efficiency and potentially lower your heating and cooling costs.
• Dust and debris protection: Covers can keep dust, debris, and other materials away from the downlight fixtures and reduce the risk of electrical issues.
• Pest control: Downlight covers can seal off potential entry points for pests like insects or rodents that otherwise could enter your home through the gaps around downlights.
• Downlight covers provide an additional layer of protection by preventing direct contact between flammable ceiling insulation and the hot light fitting, reducing the risk of fire. [Please note that these fittings are not Fire Rated.]
• Noise reduction: Downlight covers can help lessen the transfer of noise either from the outside environment or in between levels of a multi-story building.
• Consistent insulation: Downlight covers allow insulation to be laid consistently across the ceiling, maintaining an effective thermal barrier in the attic space. Installing covers helps avoid potential issues caused by gaps in the insulation around downlights.
• Moisture control: Downlight covers can reduce the risk of condensation forming on downlights, which can be beneficial for preventing damage to electrical fittings and promoting a healthier indoor environment.
• Easy to install: Many downlight covers are designed to be user-friendly and can be installed easily by homeowners or professionals, making it convenient to access these benefits. Important Note:
  
  • Only suitable for IC Rated Luminaires
  • The Transformer Holder is only for IC Rated Drivers, otherwise drivers must be hung from the rafter
• Manufactured in Australia

Downlight covers might be considered unnecessary in some situations, but in several instances, they can play a vital role in insulation and improving fire safety.

Here's why downlights are still a good option:

• High-quality downlights: Many modern LED downlights are still made from electronics, electronics are sensitive to overheating, and insulating these LED's from high roof temperatures could increase LED life. 
• Possums and Rats Love getting into attic spaces, and nesting next to warm points.
