Abstract (en)

[origin: EP1688663A2] A lighting fitting (10) intended to be mounted in a panel includes a body (20) in which a lamp (21) may be mounted, the body comprising a continuous, rigid sidewall, and a flange (26) which extends at least partially around the body (20). The lighting fitting (10) is arranged to be installed in a panel (12) so that the flange (26) lies adjacent to the panel (12). The flange (26) includes a first body of material (27) which is arranged in use to inhibit the transmission of fire in a region between the flange (26) and an adjacent panel (12). The body (20) is equipped with at least one ventilation hole (34) and includes a second body of material (31) which is arranged in use to inhibit the transmission of fire between the interior and exterior of the lighting fitting (10) via the at least one ventilation hole (34). A lighting fitting according to the invention obviates the need for a separate fire hood or equivalent whilst meeting fire regulations.
