A modular lighting fixture that is capable of receiving interchangeable functional modules includes a body having a main portion and a second portion. The main portion has a hollow interior defining an interior space extending in a longitudinal direction from a first open end of the main portion to a second end of the main portion. The second portion is provided at the first end and extends outwardly in a transverse direction, wherein the interior space is configured to receive and retain a functional module configured to provide non-light emitting function. A light emitting means is provided on the second portion of the body and configured to emit light.

A system for use with a ceiling fixture, a portion of which projects though an opening in a ceiling wall, for assisting in preventing spread of fire through the opening. The system has a metal collar for lining the opening. The metal collar has an upper rim overlying a top surface of the ceiling wall at the opening, a middle section facing an inner edge of the ceiling wall at the opening and a lower rim underlying a bottom surface of the ceiling wall at the opening. The system also has an intumescent ring for surrounding the projecting portion of the fixture so as to be interposed between the metal collar and the projecting portion of the fixture.

Described is a light fixture system having a fixture housing with a base and sidewall that form a housing interior, and a continuous fire barrier element disposed within the housing interior. The continuous fire barrier element may include a central body and at least one flap extending from the central body. The at least one flap may be movable relative to the central body.

An intumescent firestop element is supported within a light can by fire sensitive supports each having a base fabricated of a meltable or flammable material and a supporting element fabricated of metal and supported by the base, with the base joined to the light can. In response to a fire, the fire sensitive supports cease to support the firestop element which drops to a deployed position in the light can until arrested by a limiter.

A recessed luminaire includes a housing supporting a light emitter, an intumescent material coupled to an outer surface of the housing, and a plate coupled to the housing and to the intumescent material. The housing configured to be positioned at least partially through a ceiling. The housing also includes a stepped surface. The intumescent material has a shape complementary to a shape of the housing. The plate is positioned adjacent to the stepped surface and to an upper surface of the intumescent material.

A fire-resistance rated lighting fixture includes intumescent coatings or materials. A recessed housing includes a body and a top with an intumescent material located in the top of the recessed housing. One or more brackets can hold the intumescent material in place within the top of the recessed housing. An intumescent coating can also be applied to one or more components of the fire-resistance rated lighting fixture.

A light fitting system has a light fitting for recessed mounting of a luminaire in a substrate such as a ceiling, which fitting comprises a luminaire support and a base for receiving the luminaire support and in relation to which base the luminaire support may be manipulated or moved or directed, and a tool for manipulating the luminaire support. The luminaire support and the luminaire support tool are configured for cooperative inter-engagement whereby the tool may be releasably inter-engaged with the luminaire support to enable manipulation of the luminaire support in relation to the base providing the advantage of a readily adaptable or manipulated luminaire support angularly adjustable or removable by means of the luminaire support tool thereby enabling adjustment and/or removal and replacement of a luminaire from a base without dismantling the fitting from the substrate into which it is mounted.
