Hello,
We are working on a existing medical clinic remodeling. They want to install acoustical insulation above the ceiling in the exam rooms. The existing 2x2 light fixtures are not IC rated so as I understand it per 410.116 they would require a clearance of 3" around the fixture enclosure. Can we install a proprietary fire rated troffer cover over the fixture? This would not give us the 3" clearance. I'm not sure if this would meet the intent of the code.
Any thoughts are appreciated.
Thanks, Jeff
