The Domus THOR-PRO-32 Reflector is a replaceable beam-shapingreflector for the 32W THOR-PRO head available at 15,24, 45 and 60.

At 32 W the narrow reflectors are the ones that make sense

• The 32W head is the largest in the family and belongs on high ceilings double-height showrooms, atria, warehouse-conversion retail or on large single objects.
• AT THAT SIZE, A WIDE REFLECTOR UNDOES THE REASON FOR BUYING IT. A 60 optic on a 32W head spreads a great deal of light over a large area and producesgeneral lighting at a display-lighting price. If general lighting is what the area needs,a purpose-built wider fitting does it better and cheaper.
• THE COMBINATION THAT WORKS IS A NARROW ANGLE FROM A HIGH MOUNTING. 15 or 24 from 5 or 6 metres throws a controlled pool onto a specific subject with enoughintensity to separate it from a brightly lit background which is exactly what a big atriumneeds.
• FROM A 6m MOUNTING TO A 1m SURFACE a 5m throw:
  • 15 about 1.3m across. A sculpture, a vehicledetail.
  • 24 about 2.1m. A vehicle, a large artwork.
  • 36 about 3.2m. A display area.
  • 60 about 5.8m. General lighting.

At long throws, aim matters more than optic

• A 15 BEAM FROM 6 METRES THAT IS 3 OFF MISSES ITS TARGET BY ABOUT 300mm. The same error at 2 metres is 100mm and forgivable. SO THE NARROW OPTICS DEMAND CARE IN PROPORTION TO THE MOUNTING HEIGHT.
• AIM THEM AT NIGHT OR WITH THE SPACE DARKENED, from the position people will actually viewfrom not from directly beneath, and not at midday when nothing isvisible.
• ON TRACK THAT IS RECOVERABLE the head slides and rotates but at 6 metres it means a lift, so getting it right in one visit is worthplanning.
• AND CONSIDER THE VIEWING ANGLE. A powerful narrow beam aimed down a longsightline puts a very bright source in somebody’s eye-line somewhere. Pair narrowoptics with a black baffle as a matter of course at this wattage.

Ordering: the head plus the angle you actually need

The head ships with 36, which at 32W is rarely the angle you want. SO UNLIKE THE SMALLER HEADS, THIS IS THE ONE WHERE ORDERING A REFLECTOR ALONGSIDE EVERY HEADIS USUALLY RIGHT most 32W applications want 15 or 24. Tell us the mounting height and what you are lighting and we will specify the angle. The supplied 36 reflectors then become the spares.

No datasheet, and no output figures for the head either

No sheet is attached to this listing, and the 32W head itself publishes no lumen figuresanywhere in the catalogue. SO NEITHER THE HEAD’S OUTPUT NOR THE REFLECTOR’S EFFECT ONIT CAN BE STATED, AND WE HAVE NOT ESTIMATED EITHER. On a scheme designed to a lux targetthat is a call worth making before ordering. The record also publishesbulb_type = Built-in LED on a shaped cone; across the ten optical accessories here, allten carry an electrical field.

What is published

Where it works

• Atria and double-height showrooms 15 or 24.
• Vehicles, sculptures, large artworks.
• Warehouse-conversion retail.
• Not at 60 a wider fitting is cheaper and better.
• Not to a lux target without asking us for the head’s output.

Specifying it

Replaceable beam-shaping reflector for THOR-PRO-32 heads. Available at 15, 24, 45 and 60;36 is supplied with the head. AT 32 W THE NARROW REFLECTORS ARE THE ONES THAT MAKE SENSE. A 60 optic on the largest head inthe family spreads a great deal of light over a large area and produces general lighting at adisplay-lighting price if that is what the area needs, a purpose-built wider fitting does it better andcheaper. AND NARROW OPTICS DEMAND CARE IN PROPORTION TO MOUNTING HEIGHT: a 15 beam from 6 metres that is3 off misses by about 300 mm, where the same error at 2 metres is 100 mm and forgivable. Aim at night,from the actual viewing position, and pair narrow optics with a black baffle as a matter ofcourse.

Questions

Which angle should I use on a 32W head?

15 or 24 degrees, from a high mounting. The 32W head belongs on high ceilings or large single objects, and at that size a wide reflector undoes the reason for buying it a 60 degree optic spreads a great deal of light over a large area and produces general lighting at a display-lighting price.

What if I need general lighting there?

Use a purpose-built wider fitting. It will do the job better and cheaper. The 32W head with a narrow optic is where the money is well spent throwing a controlled pool onto a specific subject with enough intensity to separate it from a brightly lit background.

What pool size will I get?

From a 6m mounting to a 1m surface, which is a 5m throw: 15 degrees gives about 1.3m across, 24 about 2.1m, 36 about 3.2m and 60 about 5.8m.

How precise does the aim need to be?

Much more precise than on a low mounting. A 15 degree beam from 6 metres that is 3 degrees off misses its target by about 300mm, where the same error at 2 metres is 100mm and forgivable. Narrow optics demand care in proportion to the mounting height.

When should I aim them?

At night, or with the space darkened, and from the position people will actually view from not from directly beneath, and not at midday when nothing is visible. On track it is recoverable because the head slides and rotates, but at 6 metres that means a lift, so getting it right in one visit is worth planning.

Anything else to consider at this wattage?

The viewing angle. A powerful narrow beam aimed down a long sightline puts a very bright source in somebody’s eye-line somewhere. Pair narrow optics with a black baffle as a matter of course at 32W it costs almost no light and solves a good deal of discomfort.

Should I order a reflector with every head?

On this size, usually yes unlike the smaller heads. The head ships with 36 degrees, which at 32W is rarely the angle you want, and most applications want 15 or 24. Tell us the mounting height and what you are lighting and we will specify the angle; the supplied 36 degree reflectors then become the spares.
