Astro Firehood 410 Fire Hood

The Astro Firehood 410 Fire Hood is a fire-protection accessory from Astro's Firehood range, designed to surround recessed luminaires and help preserve the fire rating of ceilings. The unit is purpose-built to be installed within the ceiling void to prevent the spread of fire around a downlight.

Formally, the hood is a rectangular, box-like enclosure with a flat top and vertical sides, a deliberate alternative to the more common domed covers. The white finish and visible woven texture give a technical, restrained appearance while seams mark the panel joins; the integrated multi-hole vent port provides managed airflow for the encased fitting.

Constructed from a flexible, fibre-based white material, the Firehood 410 is designed to encapsulate a luminaire and retain the ceiling's integrity in the event of fire. The hollow interior creates the protective barrier around the downlight while the rectangular geometry keeps a compact profile within the ceiling void.

Light delivery is unaffected by the hood because the product is an enclosure rather than a light source; its multi-hole venting assists heat dissipation from the recessed fitting and supports safe operation of the luminaire. The Firehood is intended specifically for recessed light fittings and for preserving a ceiling’s fire rating when correctly installed.

The base incorporates extended flat flanges that protrude from the bottom edges to allow secure mounting over a recessed fixture. The Firehood is supplied as an accessory only; luminaires, lamps and any external drivers are provided separately. The product carries a three-year manufacturer warranty.
