## Overview

The TENMAT FF130E Recessed Light Cover is a fire-resistant, UL-tested insulation protector that prevents insulation contact with recessed lights, reduces energy loss by eliminating drafts, and fits most standard fixtures with no assembly required. It enhances both thermal efficiency and acoustic performance, making it a must-have upgrade for energy-conscious, safety-minded homeowners.

## Description

TENMAT is a leading manufacturer of High Temperature Engineering Materials and Fire Protection Components. The TENMAT FF130E Insulation Protection Cover is made out of a fire resistant material and was specifically designed to protect your light fixture from insulation in the attic and to stop unwanted airleakage through your recessed light. The FF130E has been tested in accordance with UL1598 for usage with IC and Non-IC rated recessed lights (See Installation Instructions for maximum lamp wattage and types). Most recessed lights are not compatible with insulation and oftentimes start cycling on/off after they have been buried with cellulose, foam, fiberglass, etc. The lights’ malfunction is a concern and a safety hazard. Pushing the insulation away is not an effective solution since it creates air passages in the building envelope and wastes energy. According to the Department of Energy, recessed lights account for 50% of the total thermal losses of a ceiling. Due to the improved airtightness and insulation, TENMAT users experience significant energy savings. TENMAT Recessed Light Covers allow the insulation to be continuous and uninterrupted over the whole area of the ceiling, therefore saving energy. The FF130E covers are fit within seconds and do not require assembly or special tools. Simply put the flexible and lightweight cover on top of your light fixture - Done Deal! For additional draftstopping, we recommend the TENMAT FF365 Sealant. Benefits: -- Fire Safe -- Reduces heat loss through the light fixture. -- Limits the amount of cold or hot air entering from outside. -- Keeps insulation away from standard recessed lights. -- Easy fitting - can be fitted in seconds - no screws, drilling or assembly required. -- Enhances the acoustic protection of the ceiling. -- Maintenance free. -- Please note: Recessed light NOT included! Sold individually, price is per cover. This product CANNOT be used in 1 or 2 hour fire rated ceiling assemblies.

Review: Easy to install if you have the height - These things are an amazing solution to prevent heat loss from unsealed recessed lighting cans. Now before you start staring wishfully at your ceiling you should appreciate that the ceiling needs to be removed and you must have sufficient joist depth above the cans. In my case I have 18" bar joists and was replacing an entire plasterboard ceiling that had been damaged by a leaky roof. These light covers meant I didn't have to replace a half dozen Halo cans to reinstall a tight well insulated ceiling. These covers install remarkably easily. They can be seriously distorted to squash them through tight spaces and still count on them springing open to surround the can -- almost like a thick felt hat The covers are very hard to tear but lend themselves easily to the necessary notching or slitting with a sharp knife. Apart from needing sufficient space over the cans to fit the cover in, there are a few limitations that might interest you: 1. These covers retain heat so ditch the filament light bulbs in favor of CFL or LED -- or you run the risk of melting wiring in the can. 2. Wear eye protection -- preferably goggles. While it's never fun working around insulation, these things seem to shed a fine dust that's a particularly nasty eye irritant. It got behind my conventional safety glasses. Things went smoothly once I washed my eyes and put on a set of goggles with good side protection. 3. Oh yeah, each cover comes in its own plastic bag, The bags are a good size for debris but they have air vent holes that can become maddening leaks for things like sawdust and plaster dust. (Hey, these covers are so good that I'm reaching for even the most trivial "negative"...) All-in-all this is a wonderful well thought out product. Win Wiencke
Review: These solved our most serious home insulation problem. A huge energy saver. - To reduce expenses and to help protect the environment, in early 2021 our household started taking a number of measures to cut our energy consumption. Those measures have proven successful: total 2021 electricity consumption in our single-family, detached home in the US SE was about 8,000 kWh (3,200 of which was for HVAC), compared to about 11,000 kWh annual average in previous years. [UPDATE on 1/1/23: our total electricity consumption in 2022 dropped even further to just 5,500 kWh (1,600 of which was for HVAC) for the year. We have HALVED our electricity consumption. Huge savings.] We used a Klein Tools TI250 Rechargeable Thermal Imager (www.desertcart.com/gp/product/B089QW8R9S) to identify where our home’s protective envelop was weak – places where we were losing heat / allowing cold air inside in the winter and losing cool air / allowing heat inside in the summer. The imager revealed problem areas we had suspected, e.g., around windows and doors. But above all they highlighted an extremely acute problem we hadn’t focused on, namely the 7 recessed lights in our kitchen. In summer, and with those lights off, the thermal imager showed the lights as 7 ultra-bright, fiercely orange circles, though the ceiling all around (under thick insulation) was deep, cool blue. It was ugly, indicating that we had been wasting massive amounts of energy and money for years. After crawling up into the attic, I discovered that those lights, which had been installed by a contractor we had hired over a decade earlier, had absolutely no insulation around them at all. We had failed to do our research in advance and instruct the contractor accordingly. I then discovered that those lights are not IC-rated, meaning that insulation must not come in contact with them, or we’ll have a fire hazard on our hands. Well, lesson learned: if we ever have recessed lights installed in the future, we’ll ensure they are IC-rated. But what to do? After much online research, we settled on these recessed light covers. We purchased one, along with some Great Stuff foam, as a test. After installation, the thermal imager revealed just 6 bright orange circles and one medium-blue (nearly the same color as the surrounding ceiling). We then installed the other six and are very satisfied with their performance in summer and winter. A couple lessons learned from the installation of these light covers: 1) This was an absolutely beastly job during the summer months, when our attack gets really hot. Bad timing. 2) Great Stuff foam works very well for this job, but I wish I had used a foam gun with a long barrel, rather than just spraying from the can. It would have been much easier to get to some of those hard-to-reach areas in that cramped part of the attic, and the application of the foam would have been less wasteful and easier to control. These recessed light covers can be used as described above for bathroom fans installed between ceiling and attic.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Made air sealing easy(er)
*by G***T on March 13, 2024*

I purchased 15 of these for can lights and some in ceiling speakers in my attic. I think they will be pretty effective and its definitely easier than trying to seal all those fixtures up with spray foam. However, I wish they were a little bit larger in size... I found myself using some scraps of extruded polystyrene and spray foam to bolster areas that didn't fit very well. I used spray foam to seal and attach these to the surroundings. I see others have just cut around the electrical, but that wasn't an easy option for my fixtures. I also think these are fairly expensive for what they are, but definitely still a time saver. It seems there is an opportunity for someone to develop a product that is more compact, easier to install, and cheaper to be a bit more DIY friendly!
