Made to order, and no lead time is published

Domus builds this to order, and their own note asks you to call and confirmthe current lead time. We will do that before anything is committed.

The published specification

What 2160 lumens actually gives you

• Over a 1.8m dining table or island, one of these is comfortable generallight. Suspended at the usual 750800mm above the surface, 2160lm froma 1.2m line puts a useful working level across the whole top without the hot centre a singleround pendant gives.
• For a task-lit kitchen island you would normally want more. Two of thesealong a 2.4m island is 4320lm, which is a generous working level or step up to the 1.7m version at 3060lm.
• Over a single desk it is ample and will want dimming.
• These are proportions, not a lighting design. A real lux calculation needsthe room’s surfaces and the mounting height tell us the space and we will doit. What matters is that the calculation is now possible: the output figureexists.

CRI90 is the specification worth noticing

• CRI90 is high for a linear pendant of this kind above the CRI 80that the Domus MAX-50 profile range publishes, and above the 80 that most commercial linearlighting settles for.
• It matters wherever colour is judged: food on a kitchen island,merchandise in a shop, materials on a studio bench, skin tone in a consulting room.
• At 3000K with CRI90 you get warm light that still renders honestly which is not the usual trade-off; warm sources often lose colour accuracy.
• So this is a fitting you can put over food and finishes without apology.

IP20 a real exclusion

IP20 means dry interior only. Not a bathroom, not a covered outdoor area, nota washdown space, not an unsealed warehouse bay. For any of those, ask us for the DomusIMPACT range, which is IP66 and IK10.

Where it works

• 1.8m dining tables and kitchen islands at 750800mm abovethe surface.
• Single desks and short benches.
• Timber and concrete soffits where an aluminium body is sympathetic.
• Anywhere colour is judged CRI90 is the reason.
• Not anywhere damp IP20.

Questions

How much light does it give?

2160 lumens 1800 lumens per metre, at 90 lumens per watt from 24W. Over a 1.8m dining table or island, suspended at the usual 750 to 800mm above the surface, that is comfortable general light across the whole top without the hot centre a single round pendant gives. For a task-lit kitchen island you would normally want more: two along a 2.4m island is 4320 lumens, or step up to the 1.7m version at 3060 lumens.

Is CRI90 worth paying attention to?

Yes it is the specification worth noticing here. CRI90 is high for a linear pendant of this kind, above the CRI 80 or better that the Domus MAX-50 profile range publishes and above what most commercial linear lighting settles for. It matters wherever colour is judged: food on a kitchen island, merchandise in a shop, materials on a studio bench, skin tone in a consulting room. And at 3000K it is warm light that still renders honestly, which is not the usual trade-off.

Can I use it in a bathroom or outside?

No. It is IP20, which means dry interior only not a bathroom, not a covered outdoor area, not a washdown space, not an unsealed warehouse bay. That is a published figure rather than an unknown, so you can rely on it. For any of those positions ask us about the Domus IMPACT range, which is IP66 and IK10 and publishes both.

What suspension is supplied?

A 3m drop, which is generous and can be shortened on site so a standard 2.4m ceiling and a double-height void are both workable from the same fitting. What Domus does not publish is the mounting-point spacing or the weight, and those are the two figures an installer needs before the ceiling closes. Ask us for both and we will get them.

Can it be dimmed, and how?

It ships with an integral dimmable driver as standard, and Domus offers DALI dimming and an emergency function on request. So a domestic trailing-edge dimmer and a commercial DALI system are both routes, but the DALI version has to be ordered as such it is not a field change. Tell us your control system before you order and we will specify the right one.

What is the warranty?

Three years, and the type is replacement rather than repair. That distinction matters on an integrated LED: there is no serviceable lamp, so a failure means a new fitting, and a replacement warranty is the right form of cover for that. What Domus does not publish is the rated lifespan, which is the one figure missing from an otherwise complete specification.

How long will it take to arrive?

Domus builds it to order and publishes no lead time their own note asks you to call and confirm it. We will do that before anything is committed. Worth settling early on a kitchen or fitout with a fixed date, because the lighting usually goes in late in the programme.
