Ceiling light fixture foil.
Lighting is an integral feature that helps determine the mood of the room as well as how everything looks in it.
From another post here.
With our huge selection of led ceiling lights ceiling fans with lights chandeliers pendant lights recessed lights track lighting and more you re sure to find the right choice to brighten your home.
I have a ceiling mounted light fixture with what seems to be aluminum foil covering fiberglass in a circle shape.
Even so an enclosed fixture tends to build up a lot of heat especially with incandescent bulbs.
It is one of three and i don t want to replace it but i also don t want to replace the house and my family either if you know what i mean.
The purpose of the foil and insulation is to reflect heat and light down away from the fixture and the wiring.
My huge concern is it will catch on fire from the heat as i have been using the fixture many months and the lights finally burned out i dismantled the piece and found the aluminum was broken in a few spots and not adhering so well to the clear stuff fiberglass above it.
I have one of those fairly standard us ceiling light fixtures that is bowl shaped and takes two light bulbs.
That thin tin foil layer came off and now the light bulbs radiate directly on to that fiber insulation material.
Kitchen lighting requires some task lighting making kitchen island pendant lighting a perfect addition.
Other choices to increase overall brightness in your room are ceiling light fixtures like chandelier ceiling fans.
Removing the foil insulation may cause the fixture to operate in an unsafe manner.
The foil backing is attached to a thin layer of insulation.
Is this a fire hazard.
The combination of the foil and the insulation deflects the heat from the light bulbs away from the ceiling where the electrical wires are located.

You can affix the foil to the insulation with an adhesive that can handle the heat some possibilities are dap auto marine sealant which can withstand temperatures up to 400 f and most if not all of the ge silicone products will do the same just read the label.
Not only is each fixture is designed specifically for small spaces where height clearance is limited such as beams or ductwork you can change the color temperature with a flick of a button.
Wall sconces are ideal as hallway light fixtures by the bedside or on either side of your mirror in the bathroom.
