Just a silly question
Using Halo 245R ICT in a fire rated ceiling is Illegal, but if you wrapped them in 3m Fire putty pads wouldn't that give you a 1 hour fire rating in a single 5/8" gypsum ceiling membrane?
 
They make a fire rated “flower pot” that can be placed over the fixture. It is like putty, and can be cut. Used a bunch of them last year when the architect screwed up, and specified a fixture that is not fire rated in a fire rated ceiling.
