A lighting assembly that includes a light fixture adapted to be disposed
in relation to an opening defined in a surface of a structure such that a
lamp may be installed in the light fixture through the opening, a trim
having an outer surfaces, and an intumescent layer on the outer surface
of the trim. The trim is adapted to engage the light fixture so that the
outer surface of the trim on which the intumescent layer is disposed is
positioned in proximity to the opening in the structure. The intumescent
layer is adapted to expand to form a fire resistant seal between the trim
and the structure when the intumescent layer reaches a predetermined
temperature.
