A-ONE Lighting: Innovating Fire-Rated Downlights for Global Safety and Efficiency

Introduction

With over 17 years of expertise in professional indoor lighting manufacturing, A-ONE has established itself as a pioneer in fire-rated downlight solutions. Our breakthrough came in 2014 when we successfully developed and introduced our first fire-rated downlights to the UK market - a strategic move that addressed growing safety demands while setting new standards for lighting performance and installation efficiency.

Why Fire-Rated Downlights?

The increasing focus on building safety regulations across Europe, particularly in commercial and high-occupancy spaces, drove our development of these specialized luminaires. We recognized that traditional downlights could become fire hazards, allowing flames to spread through ceiling voids. Our solution? A comprehensive range of SGS-certified downlights offering 30-, 60-, and 90-minute fire resistance - providing critical protection that meets the strictest EU safety standards while maintaining excellent lighting performance.

Core Innovations That Set Us Apart

1. Revolutionary Plug-in Junction Box (Patented)

Our proprietary quick-connect system revolutionizes installation, enabling electricians to complete connections in seconds rather than minutes. This not only improves job site efficiency by up to 40% but significantly reduces labor costs - a benefit our professional installers consistently praise.

2. Comprehensive Fire Protection Solutions

From 30-minute residential protection to 90-minute commercial-grade defense, our product matrix covers all application scenarios. Hotels benefit from our fire-rated solutions in corridors and public areas, while offices appreciate our ceiling systems that maintain compartmentalization integrity.

3. Smart, Inventory-Friendly Lighting System

• TRIAC dimmable drivers for smooth 10% - 100% lighting control
• Adjustable CCT (2700K-6500K) via simple dip switch control
• Interchangeable bezels allowing one fixture to serve multiple aesthetic requirements This innovative approach lets distributors and contractors maintain fewer SKUs while offering more options to end clients - a win-win that reduces inventory costs by up to 30%.

4. Custom Engineering Capabilities

Our in-house R&D team and production facilities support custom solutions, including:

• Full fire ratings 30minutes, 60minutes, 90 minutes against timber, web and Staircraft i-joists, with authoritative SGS test
• Unique bezel designs and colorway of finishes
• Application-specific optical configurations
