Fire rated downlights need firehood as well?

I intend to install low voltage fire rated downlights in my bathroom. The ceiling void is insulated - do I need to use fire hoods for each fire rated down light or is the fire reated downlight ok on its own ?

You do not need a fire hood for fire rated downlighters.0

The fire rating/fire hood is to maintain the integrity of the fire barrier into the void above - please don't cover the fitting with the insulation, "fire rated" doesn't mean they no longer get hot!!0

You require tin hoods if you wish to cover with insulationHi, we’ve had to remove your signature. If you’re not sure why please read the forum rules or email the forum team if you’re still unsure0
