When it comes to installing recessed lighting, especially in settings that require fire protection, the right housing is crucial. That’s why Canadian electricians trust the FH350LGICA Axite Fire-Rated IC Housing GU10. This 3.5-inch recessed lighting housing offers both durability and safety, making it the ideal choice for condos, apartments, multi-family homes, commercial properties, and residential applications. Let’s dive into why the FH350LGICA is a top choice for electricians across Canada.
2-Hour Fire Protection & Safety Assurance
The FH350LGICA is designed to provide exceptional fire safety. With a 2-hour cUL fire rating, it offers peace of mind by incorporating a double-wall fixture with non-combustible fiber insulation. This design effectively prevents flames, toxic gases, and ignition gases from passing through, ensuring the safety of any installation. It is cULus Listed for Damp Location, and with the appropriate trim, can also be installed in wet locations, offering versatility for various settings.
Quick and Easy Installation Features
For electricians, time is money, and the FH350LGICA understands that. It comes equipped with features that make installation quick and efficient:
- Pre-installed 3-port push-in quick connectors: Simplify the wiring process, saving you time on the job.
- Swivel hanger bars with pre-installed nails: These bars adjust from 13-5/8″ to 25″ wide, providing flexibility and easy installation in various ceiling types.
- GU10 Socket: Suitable for use with a GU10 MAX 25W LED Lamp, offering energy efficiency and longevity.
- Adjustable Housing Depth: The housing can be adjusted from 1-1/2″ to accommodate different ceiling thicknesses, ensuring a perfect fit every time.
Airtight and Certified for Quality
The FH350LGICA is not just fire-rated—it is also airtight. Certified under ASTM Standard E283-04, the fixture prevents air leakage, contributing to energy efficiency in the building. The UL certification further ensures that this product meets high standards of safety and quality, making it a reliable choice for professionals.
Sound Insulation for a Quieter Space
A unique feature of the Axite recessed lighting is its sound insulation capabilities. According to tests conducted by NGC Testing Services, the FH350LGICA has been measured for Sound Transmission Class (STC) and Impact Insulation Class (IIC) ratings:
- STC Rating: 34dB (ASTM E90-09 / E413-10)
- IIC Rating: 36dB (ASTM E492-09(2016)e1 / ASTM E989-18)
These sound ratings indicate that the FH350LGICA can help reduce sound transmission through the ceiling, making it an excellent choice for multi-family homes, apartments, and condos where noise reduction is a priority.
Versatile Housing for Various Ceiling Designs
The die-formed galvanized steel housing of the FH350LGICA is designed to provide up to 2 hours of protection across various floor-ceiling constructions, such as L500, L505, L511, L536, and more. The housing can be removed from the plaster frame to provide access to the junction box, making it easier to make adjustments or changes after the installation.
