    \$\begingroup\$ The friendly manual is likely to have many pages about things you shouldn't do with the product, explaining this weird barb wire symbol. \$\endgroup\$

  • \$\begingroup\$ And unfortunately this is probably a symbol from some ISO standard... There's a lot of incredibly bad standards for international symbols. \$\endgroup\$

    \$\begingroup\$ @Lundin I don't think this symbol is that bad. That is a very common way of drawing insulation in building drawings etc. \$\endgroup\$

  • \$\begingroup\$ @Klas-Kenny I wouldn't know about that, but I suppose "don't place insulation in the roof above this light" could be a sensible interpretation. Maybe this question shouldn't be asked here but at a construction (web) site? \$\endgroup\$

To me it seems to imply that the upper part of the LED fixture (when mounted in a ceiling) should not be covered with cavity insulating material i.e. it needs to keep cool by using circulatory air in the ceiling cavity. After all, it is a 24 watt device and it will need to be kept cool.

User Klas-kenny found this link that appears to confirm my suspicion: -

    \$\begingroup\$ This is indeed correct. Very common on LED lights, described here, for example: ledbenchmark.com/faq/… I'm pretty sure this symbol is defined by IEC or similar, although I cannot find which standard. \$\endgroup\$

    \$\begingroup\$ I would have figured no reflector housings. But for the same reason, don't want to cook the modules. \$\endgroup\$
