Nobody wants a fire extinguisher in the living room. Not because people underestimate the risk, but because a home has its own rules and a red cylinder is not among them. Hence the suppression lamp: it replaces an existing ceiling pendant, lights the room like a pendant, and suppresses fire when there is one.
It fires above 72 °C sustained for more than 20 seconds. Those twenty seconds are deliberate — a brief spike from an oven or a candle is ignored. On a sharp rise past 150 °C, suppression is immediate. The 6A model covers 50 m² and 150 m³.
Tests in the Czech Republic in 2025 revealed something worth knowing before you buy. We burned a stool, chairs and a table on a carpet, doused with ten litres of petrol, discharging from 3.5 metres. The conclusion: a single central discharge only suffices in a space without obstacles. Put a large table, a sofa or a bookcase in the room and they cast shadows — you need two lamps, one for dual suppression and one with a sensor, or two sharing a central sensor.
Installation is by an authorised SAPFIR technician, roughly half an hour per luminaire. A three-room flat typically needs three to six systems, so three to five hours. The sensor version recesses at least halfway into a plasterboard ceiling — after any discharge only the cartridge is replaced and the ceiling stays intact.
The guarantee runs to twelve years with an annual inspection. A prototype MPH-5 with 360° discharge and a 70 m² / 100 m³ capacity is in development.
