Ceiling light (silver, fixtures, build, fixture)

[Baike]

What material is the thing (like silver paper) made of? The light bulbs can touch it, is it safe?

What is the burning point for the material? I am concerned the safety when the light bulbs become hot.

Thanks.

I've seen that - I believe it's an alum. material over and insulation-type material. All light fixtures have something that tells you the max. wattage (and how long are you leaving the light on?).

It's an insulating/reflective pad to help reduce heat buildup above the fixture.

The heat from one or two 60w bulbs is not going to affect it at all. It's basically non-flammable material(s).
