The FlameGuard Tech FGT7-C Recessed Downlight Protection Cover shields 4-inch and 6-inch slim LED recessed lights from attic insulation while significantly reducing unwanted energy loss through the fixture.

Most recessed lights are not designed for direct insulation contact. Once buried under cellulose or fiberglass, fixtures can overheat and start cycling on and off — a malfunction that is both a nuisance and a safety hazard. Pushing the insulation back is not a fix either: the gap it leaves becomes an air passage in the building envelope that wastes energy year-round.

Vacuum-formed from high-density, non-combustible mineral wool (rockwool fiber), the rigid cone fully encloses the fixture and holds its shape under blown-in insulation. Insulation runs continuous and uninterrupted across the entire ceiling, the light keeps a safe clearance zone, and air leakage through the opening stops.

Suitable for most low-profile and ultra-thin wafer LED recessed lights, retrofit downlights, and remodel kits installed in insulated ceiling and attic assemblies. The cover arrives fully assembled and fits in seconds from the attic side — no tools, fasteners, or wiring changes.
