Fire-rated Astro Firehood 300: a flexible fabric enclosure with ventilated port to restore ceiling fire integrity around recessed downlights.

Restore ceiling fire integrity around downlights
Use a fire-resistant woven fabric construction
Dissipate heat via an integrated ventilated port
Compressible form eases installation through cutouts
Backed by a three-year product warranty

The Astro Firehood 300 Firehood is a purpose-made lighting accessory from Astro designed to restore and maintain the fire integrity of ceilings breached to install recessed downlights. It is a rectangular, box-shaped fire hood intended to completely surround the rear of a recessed light fitting.

Formally constructed with sewn or bonded seams, the hood’s textured woven technical fabric has a metallic silver appearance and a fine grid-like weave. The box form is engineered to sit neatly behind a ceiling finish while keeping the enclosure intact.

The Firehood 300 uses a specialist fire-resistant fabric rather than rigid metal, giving a balance of flexibility and structure. The material holds a boxy shape yet can be slightly compressed to pass through ceiling cutouts during installation.

One side panel features an integrated circular ventilation port with a perforated metal insert (five small holes) to help dissipate heat from the enclosed fixture while preserving the hood’s fire-protective function. The enclosed design is intended specifically for use around recessed downlights to reinstate a ceiling’s fire barrier.

The Firehood 300 carries a three-year product warranty and is supplied by Astro, a UK brand. It is supplied as a passive enclosure; installers should fit the hood around the back of the downlight and follow applicable installation guidance and local building regulations.

Lighting Design Online highlights the Firehood 300 as a considered choice when fire integrity must be restored without bulky metal boxes. Our guidance focuses on the right outcome for the finished ceiling, clear installation notes and project-friendly support to ensure a durable, compliant result.
