There are also some specially-made fire rated downlights that have an ‘Open Design,
Which means that they offer the best conditions when it comes to temperature.
This type of open design has another advantage: that of resulting in increased airflow,

whether it’s in the kitchen, bathroom, bedroom, or any other room in the home or commercial space.
In fact, since it’s just a millimetre in thickness, it is actually ten times thinner compared to other types of downlights.

You even have a choice between a non-dimmable or dimmable model,
although it goes without saying that the dimmable models are ultimately more popular than the non-dimmable ones,
especially for rooms which require some kind of ‘mood lighting,’ such as living areas, bathrooms, and bedrooms.
These fire rated downlights can be installed anywhere!
In the different bedrooms, in the dining area, in the kitchen, or in the bathroom
fire rated downlights can be applied anywhere, just like ordinary lights can be.
