    pir sensor in false ceiling

    I know fire rated downlights are installed in false or suspended ceilings as the normal as the cost difference is small... But what about PIR sensor in a false ceiling or a suspended grid ceiling wouldn't they need to be fire rated if it was a fire rated ceiling?
