Heat Resistant Lighting.

[ITS]

My customer wants me to fit a light inside his commercial cooker hood so he can see that hes not burning the sausages. Trouble is, it gets very warm under there. Are there any special requirements for hot areas or can I fit a standard IP rated Batten and hope the plastic diffuser doesn't get brittle too quickly?

When you find a light please tell me. A restaurant i work on has a couple of the old Appleby type thick glass bulkheads and aluminium bases. The lamp holders are porcelain and they are wired in MICC. The heat still kills the light bulbs.

ah, I'll have a look in a bit,

a few years ago I fitted a load in a knackers yard, in the steam process area where it gets pretty HOT,

I know they were EX rated and wired in pyro for the heat resistance,

I'll try get some time and see if I can find something.

ask wholesaler to drag out suitable fixing, they do exist but are hard to come by, and needless to say cost!. Old glass/ metal bulkheads are about the only easily available units  know of. Denmans normally have them in stock.

All,the ones i have seen have been the old Appleby heavy glass ones.

I have seen flu lamps last quite a long time in them

Just saying
