These are the accessories for the Domus EMIT-55 inground light lenses, a diffuser, a honeycomb louvre and the cannister. Seven options, soldindividually.

The datasheet attached to this page is the fitting’s, not the accessories’

• It carries the EMIT-55 luminaire’s datasheet complete with that fitting’s2.5W rating, its IP67/IK10 ratings and its nine-fascia lumen table.
• None of that describes what is sold here. A lens has no wattage and a cannister hasno lumen output.
• We have used it only for what it legitimately tells us the EMIT-55’s cutoutfigures and beam angles, which is what these accessories act on. Nothing on this page is presentedas a specification of the accessories themselves.

The cannister changes the cutout and it is sold here

• EMIT-55 cutout: 43mm without the cannister, 48mm with it.
• Decide before you cut. A 43mm hole cannot later take a cannister withoutbeing opened out, and in paving that is real work.
• What it does: a sealed sleeve for the fitting to sit in, keeping soil and water offthe body and making the fitting removable later without digging.
• On the EMIT-85 the same decision costs 17mm rather than 5 worthknowing if you are using more than one size on a job.

The lens set is different from the EMIT-25’s

• The linear lens is the one worth knowing about. It stretches the circular beam intoan ellipse, which is what you want on a wall, a hedge or a long low subject around beam on a linear surface wastes light at both ends.
• There is no 24 option here, where the EMIT-25 has one. So the angle steps arecoarser on the larger fitting.
• All lenses are swappable in place, without lifting the fitting out of theground.

Diffuser and honeycomb opposite solutions to glare

• Diffuser softens the source into a glow. For fittings seen directly at closerange.
• Honeycomb louvre blocks the view of the source at an anglewithout spreading the beam. The light still lands where you aimed it; you just do not seethe emitter walking past.
• On a 55mm fitting with a 135lm open fascia, the honeycomb is often the betteranswer there is enough output that hiding the source costs you nothing you willnotice.
• Neither’s output cost is quantified in any source.

Where it works

• Tuning an installed EMIT-55 run without lifting fittings.
• Washing a wall or a hedge the linear lens.
• Specifying the cannister before the hole is cut.
• Fixing glare after handover the honeycomb.
• Not for the EMIT-25 or EMIT-85 different sizes, different accessories.

Specifying it

Accessories for the Domus EMIT-55 inground light: diffuser, linear lens, 19 / 36 / 60 lenses,cannister and honeycomb louvre. Sold individually. The datasheet attached to this listing is the EMIT-55 FITTING’s, not the accessories’ itswattage, lumen table and ratings describe a different product. The cannister changes the fitting’scutout from 43mm to 48mm, so it is a decision to make before the hole is cut. The lenseschange the beam angle in place. Warranty: the datasheet gives 5 years and no product field carries it ask us to confirm with your order.

Questions

Why does the datasheet on this page describe a light fitting?

Because it is the EMIT-55 luminaire’s datasheet rather than the accessories’ it carries that fitting’s 2.5W rating, its IP67 and IK10 ratings and its nine-fascia lumen table, none of which describes a lens or a cannister. Our checking process flagged it as the wrong sheet for this SKU. We have used it only for what it legitimately tells us: the EMIT-55’s cutout figures and beam angles, which is what these accessories act on.

What does the cannister change?

The cutout. The EMIT-55 takes 43mm without a cannister and 48mm with one, because the sleeve surrounds the fitting. That makes it a decision to take before you cut a 43mm hole cannot later accept a cannister without being opened out, and in paving that is real work. What you get for it is a sealed sleeve that keeps soil and water off the body and makes the fitting removable later without digging.

What is the linear lens for?

It stretches the circular beam into an ellipse, which is what you want on a wall, a hedge or any long low subject. A round beam on a linear surface wastes light at both ends and leaves scallops between fittings; a linear lens spreads it along the surface instead. It is the accessory most worth knowing about on this listing, and it is not offered for the EMIT-25.

Which lens angles are available?

19, 36 (the standard, supplied with the fitting) and 60, plus the linear lens. Note there is no 24 option here, where the EMIT-25 accessories have one so the angle steps are coarser on the larger fitting. All of them swap in place without lifting the fitting out of the ground, which is the useful part: you rarely know the right angle until the planting has grown.

Diffuser or honeycomb?

They solve glare in opposite ways. The diffuser softens the source into a glow, which suits a fitting seen directly at close range. The honeycomb blocks the view of the source at an angle without spreading the beam, so the light still lands where you aimed it and you simply do not see the emitter walking past. On a 55mm fitting with a 135lm open fascia the honeycomb is often the better answer there is enough output that hiding the source costs you nothing you will notice.

How much output do the diffuser and honeycomb cost?

Not quantified in any source, and we would rather say so than estimate. Both reduce output that is inherent but by how much is not published for either. If you are working to a lux level, ask us and we will get the figures from Domus before you commit to a quantity.

Do these fit the EMIT-25 or EMIT-85?

No. Each size has its own accessories with its own cannister and lens diameters, and the cutouts differ 19mm, 43mm and 65mm. Worth knowing if you are using more than one size on a job: the cannister costs 5mm on the cutout for the EMIT-25 and EMIT-55, and 17mm on the EMIT-85. Tell us which fittings you have and we will match the parts.
