    These units should generate very little heat if installed properly if that answers your question.

    The listing says "As LED lighting emits low heat, no heat protection box is required."

    no heat protection box needed means the led its self will not generate heat to start a fire, it doesnt mean that the spotlight is fire rated , fire rating of down lights is to stop the spread of fire out of the room that they are installed in, these lights have no documentation with a fire rating so no they are not fire rated.

    I wouldn't recommend these lights, I bought one to see what they were like and they have no cable clamps seems to be designed for mainland Europe whereby a plastic flexible pipe is brought to them and clips into the fitting with the cable inside.
