Abstract: A lighting unit (1) including a fire resistant member (19) that is adapted to prevent fire from substantially penetrating an aperture formed through a partition (5), said fire resistant member being made being made from a material that melts at a temperature in excess of 1000° C. and having a front side (A), a rear side (B), and at least one hole (21) formed through the fire resistant member (19) from the front side (A) to the rear side (B); and a lighting device (15) that is at least partly located on the rear side (B) of the fire resistant member and is arranged in relation to the hole (21) such that light emitted from the lighting device (15), in use, travels in an outwardly direction relative to the front side (A) of the fire resistant member.

Abstract: A lighting unit includes a fire resistant housing (11) that is adapted to be mounted within an aperture in a partition (2). The housing (11) is made from a material that has a melting point in excess of 1000° C. and has a front side and a rear side. An LED lighting element (17) is mounted within the fire resistant housing on the front side thereof, and a heat sink (21) is mounted on the rear side of the fire resistant housing. The lighting element (17) and the heat sink are mounted in thermal contact with the fire resistant housing to dissipate heat generated in use by the lighting. Heat generated in use by the lighting element (17) is transferred by conduction to the heat sink (21) via the fire resistant housing (11).
