Fire-Rated Wafer Recessed Lights

On a project with a rated ceiling assembly, the downlight's fire-performance documentation belongs in the purchasing review. Fire-rated wafer recessed lights combine a shallow installation format with a documented rating that must match the specified construction and installation conditions. Establish that compatibility before choosing aperture, output or trim appearance. Compare the selected model's required clearances, electrical configuration and dimming method with the project schedule. Other wafer recessed lights may look similar, so retain the exact rated product designation when ordering replacements or project quantities.
