The evolvement of ever increasing high fidelity systems and associated power outputs, TV, Satellite and Radio, coupled to noise from traffic such as automobiles, trains and aircraft means that unwanted noise is on the increase. New building materials and associated construction methods are altering the way in which new properties are manufactured. There is a move towards breathable membranes for roofs; these replace traditional bitumen coated roofing felt and negate the need to provide ventilated eaves to roofs. This additional noise has increased stress levels which ultimately results in poor health and fatigue. The end result is loss of revenue to industry through absence. Thus, the Government has implemented changes to the building regulations to ensure that a reasonable amount of attenuation can be expected between partition walls and ceilings not only between separate dwellings but also noise derived from within an individual residential area. The special gaskets incorporated into the Fireguard design ensure that the criteria is met. The material allows water vapour to permeate from the roof area out to the surrounding environment but remains impervious to external moisture. The material is much lighter and allows a roof to be completed at ground level and lifted into position on the dwelling creating a water tight environment under which construction can continue. There is no longer a need to provide ventilated eaves. For this reason the amount of moisture that can enter a cold roof void must be controlled; thus anything which punctures the seal between the cold roof area and dwelling area must be considered. Light fittings and loft hatches are good examples of intrusions into the roof area that can facilitate the passage of moisture. BS5250 which is referenced in Part C stipulates the permitted air flow per luminaire (0.06m3/Hr/m2 at a pressure of 2 pascals) for which Part L defines the testing criteria and total building envelope performance. The requirements are very demanding and care is needed to ensure compliance. Fireguard downlighters have been designed with special seals to inhibit the flow of air & moisture through the fitting as required by Part C of the building regulations. This has been widely enforced from the 1st of July 2005. Part L Energy conservation Part B Fire safety The 2006 revision to Part L has added considerable onus onto lighting installations with a far more defined requirement for energy conservation. There is now a need for 1 in 4 downlights to be energy efficient. Where downlights are used in abundance the need to find suitable locations for energy efficient luminaries becomes more challenging. Several options are available including the FireGuard Low Energy which is suitable for use along the communication routes and utility rooms. Another option is to have secondary energy compliant wall lights which can be switched separately from the main lights, once the compact fluorescent lamps are up to full brightness the main lights can be switched off. The purpose of Part B is to ensure that building structures provide adequate safety protection to personnel in the event of an emergency evacuation of the structure/complex. The regulation has been a legal requirement since 1987. The level of resistance required is proportional to the risk involved and the location of adjacent dwellings. For the domestic market 30 or 60 minutes is normal however under extreme conditions 90 minutes is required. All Fireguard fittings are tested for 30, 60 & 90 minute ceilings. Fireguard NEW DESIGN 6/2/08 14:53 Page 3 Fully tested For all timber joisted ceiling constructions Conventional Timber Systems For 30, 60 and 90 minute fire ceilings Building Regulations Document B determines the ceiling type that is required depending on the type of building under construction and associated usage. The ceiling types are designed to provide protection to the floor above in the case of a fire for a duration as specified by the document. Using JCC’s Fireguard downlights ensures that this specification is maintained even when downlights are installed in the ceiling. 30 minute ceiling 600mm joist centres Single layer 12.5mm plasterboard 60 minute ceiling 600mm joist centres Double layer 15.0mm plasterboard 90 minute ceiling 450mm joist centres Double layer 15.0mm fireboard Typical application type (* For guidance only. Please consult Document B for full details) 2-storey house (detached or terraced). Flats & maisonettes. Between shop and flat above. Houses and flats with floor between 5m - 10m above ground. Multiple occupancy dwellings. Basements depth greater than 10m, or flats over 30m above ground. I-Joist Timber Systems For 30 and 60 minute fire ceilings Timber I-Joist systems offer the modern builder an alternative to solid beam ceiling constructions. These products are manufactured from laminating layers of wood together to produce I-Joists. This makes them lighter and easier to manoeuvre together with the benefit of being able to span greater widths without undue flex in the floor system. However, as these timbers are thinner there is much less material to resist the passage of fire and thus luminaires that are suitable for solid timber floor constructions are not necessarily suitable for I-Joist. Thus JCC Lighting has spent considerable resources working in conjunction with BRE and Chiltern Fire International to ensure their luminaires are suitable for the majority of I-Joist floor systems. Fireguard NEW DESIGN 6/2/08 14:53 Page 4 JC94019 NEW Low energy shower light IP65 Rated Low energy range Introducing the new 11W compact fluorescent Fireguard downlight. Fulfils the requirement for a low energy downlight in the same small package as Fireguard halogen. JC94036 Standard version New Dimmable Version JC94037 Dimmable with most rotary dimmers Fireguard low energy delivers outstanding performance. New Megaman 11W compact fluorescent lamp Fireguard low energy uses the latest in CFL lamp technology. The new 11W lamp is approximately 50mm in diameter and therefore resembles the familiar halogen versions. The whole lamp is neatly packaged and is easy to install. The output from the miniature fluorescent tube is enhanced by an integral reflector and the light output softened by a diffusing front lens. Compliant with new Part L regulations (This luminiare will only accept the Megaman Low Energy lamp as required by Part L) 2 JCC Lighting | Fireguard | Sales Tel: 01243 838999 Fireguard NEW DESIGN 6/2/08 14:53 Page 5 Approved Document L1A Conservation of fuel and power N E W D W E L L I N G S 2 0 0 6 E D I T I O N Fireguard Low Energy. Low energy lighting The new edition of the building regulations, Document L, requires the developer to meet services and building criteria in order to minimise carbon dioxide emissions caused by the usage of excess energy and heat loses. To achieve the desired Target Emission Rate (TER) as scheduled within the document, internal low energy lighting points will be expected at a ratio of one per every four fixed light fittings, or at least one per 25m2 dwelling floor area excluding garages, whichever is the greater. Of particular note to lighting installers are the sections concerning low energy lighting and the air permeability of dwellings (Parts 42 & 52 respectively). It is indicated that a reasonable provision would be to install these points in the most frequented locations in the dwelling, such as hall, stairs and landing, as suggested in Document GIL20. Modern small halogen downlights, whilst being highly desirable in many respects are not energy efficient enough on their own to meet the new requirements. JCC Fireguard has the perfect new solution! Air permeability New Dimmable version Dwellings will be tested for air permeability and also for thermal loses through the fabric of the building. It is essential to have downlights that do not contribute to these factors and maintain the air-tightness of the location into which they are installed. JCC has collaborated with Megaman to bring you a compact fluorescent lamp that can easily be used with existing home dimmer switches. The 11watt lamp supplied has a colour rendition of Warm White (3000K) to suit most home applications. This is especially important with ceilings below cold loft spaces. JCC offers new user-friendly technology for the home. JCC have paid particular attention to the air-tightness of Fireguard downlights. Extensive testing has shown that loses are virtually negligible. Fireguard can therefore be used with complete confidence. Test results are given on pages 16 & 17. Meeting the demand for dimmable energy saving lighting solutions. The newly developed 11Watt GU10 uses smart integrated electronics to produce a smooth dimming range without flicker. This new lamp can be used with most leading UK domestic dimmer variants. Dimming recommendations for the new 11Watt Megaman dimmable lamp For the best dimming results we would recommend an electronic or digital dimmer, but we would not suggest the touch or remote version. Due to the possibility of flicker during operation standard resistive dimmer types are also to be avoided.

Fireguard technology The requirements and specifications of the current building regulations have been thoroughly researched by our designers with the result that JCC Fireguard can offer a one-stop solution in recessed downlights. Built-in fire ceiling protection At the heart of the Fireguard design is the integral intumescent fire barrier material that, in the event of a fire, seals the downlight and maintains the fire rating of the ceiling. In modern homes, ceilings can be constructed to give 30 minute, 60 minute or 90 minute fire protection... ...Fireguard is tested for all 3 ceiling types, see page 1. Fireguard convenience Being a one-piece design, no further firehoods are required making Fireguard the easiest and most convenient means of installing downlights with a fire rated ceiling. Fireguard is thoroughly tested for safety and performance and is eminently suitable for the installation methods commonly used in new houses today. JCC Fireguard has been given attention to the finer details giving a high performance fire rated downlight with features for better and easier installation. Fire protection Under fire conditions, special intumescent material swells and seals the downlight so that the fire rated ceiling is maintained for its full rated duration. No firehoods required, saving considerable installation time and effort. Air permeability Under normal working conditions the white silicon gasket serves to ensure a tailored fit against the underside of the ceiling, preventing air permeability and stopping any light spill. This also ensures a decorated finish to the ceiling; assuming the ceiling is white. The silicon “O” Ring serves to further prevent air permeability through the body of the luminaire 10 JCC Lighting | Fireguard | Sales Tel: 01243 838999 Fireguard NEW DESIGN 6/2/08 14:55 Page 13 Installation For best performance Fireguard halogen downlights are designed for use with forward heat lamps.

Loftbrace with each downlight ensures that the standards laid down by building regulation and industry bodies can be easily met. Please note that in order to comply with the requirements of air permeability the following products require loft brace as standard. JC94011, JC94012, JC94013, JC94014, JC94017, JC94018. Code Description JC94020 JC94021 Loft Brace for 400mm joist spacing Loft Brace for 600mm joist spacing Fireguard technology JCC are pleased to announce the arrival of another useful product to aid the safe installation of recessed luminaries in cold loft areas. Modern building methods demand the deployment of energy saving construction techniques. The Government has issued legally binding minimum standards that must be adhered to. The latest release of Part L requires insulation materials in cold loft spaces to remain continuous and that air permeability is limited to exacting standards. FireGuard downlights are designed to reduce these losses to within published safe levels. Market requirements The use of continuous mineral wool insulating materials makes it impossible to see where downlights have been installed and there is also a risk that householders might step or place items of storage on top of the luminaire areas. In response to these issues our customers and certain Building Control Officers have voiced their needs. The solution The JCC loft brace offers mechanical protection against accidental damage to the luminaire, as well as the added benefit of allowing additional air movement around the light fitting. The loft brace is available in two sizes for either 400mm or 600mm joist widths and can be simply fitted over the area where the lighting product is installed.
