There are different types of lighting fixtures. However, none beats recessed lights in giving a room a stylish look without giving away the whole part of the lighting fixture. But, the non-IC rated light has been a cause of fires in many houses. It is because concealing the lights (especially under insulation) will likely overheat the ceiling and cause fires. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Therefore, we will study how to prevent accidents synonymous with non-ic-rated fixtures by looking at IC-rated lights. Stay with us for more on this. <\/p>\n\n\n
IC-rated light fixtures are recessed lighting fixtures with an insulation contact. Hence, you can use such light bulbs on an insulated ceiling<\/a> without risking overheating the ceiling. The wattage for common types of lights with this heat protection property is 75 watts, although you may find others with a different rating. <\/p>\n\n\n\n However, the maximum wattage for most IC-rated fixtures is 100 watts. Hence, if you limit the wattage to this maximum rating, the fire-resistance rating will protect the lights from hot temperatures. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
