Hello
Now that almost everything is finished except for the bathroom, I have one more question.
In the bathroom, we want to install halogen spotlights recessed into the ceiling, which will be lowered by about 7cm (3 inches). The house is an older building with a kind of straw-clay ceiling underneath. How does this affect heat radiation, and what do you need to put above the ceiling to prevent it from catching fire?
Best regards
Maik

6Richtige24 Sep 2009 15:08For some time now, the quickly installable and heat-resistant protective cover for recessed spotlights has been available on the market. This protective cover provides safety for thermal and electrical insulation and can be installed safely in solid materials. It is windproof and ensures active fire protection.
The 6.5cm (2.6 inches) high housing of the protective cover is made of silicone, has a U-shape with an approximately 1.5cm (0.6 inches) high threaded section at the end, and is both windproof and heat-resistant. The cover allows for tool-free quick installation, even afterwards. Simply remove the spring clips from the spotlight housing on the left and right sides, then press the protective cover onto the housing of the recessed spotlight, which can be swiveled about 30°. Next, slowly raise the spotlight housing with the protective cover attached, pressing the cover fully upwards, and installation is complete. The heat-resistant silicone protective cover, thanks to its threaded section, is also suitable for fragile materials such as drywall, insulation boards, and fiberboards. Advantages: can be retrofitted, fully heat-resistant and windproof, plus a significant time saving due to installation in seconds.

I am familiar with the press release, but:
...can be safely installed in solid materials.
...significantly reduce the risk of ignition.
...ensures an active fire protection.
Active fire protection refers to defensive fire safety measures,
meaning when a fire actually occurs!
So what remains besides the marketing?
Product description quote:
Do not use Cool Beam bulbs.
Bulbs up to 35 watts.

I cannot verify on the website what exactly has been tested by VDE or TÜV. Nor do I see any certification marks, as you would expect on an electrical device.
