The Domus Maxi 40 is a 1.2m suspended LED linear pendant 24W, 2400lm, 4000K atCRI90, dimmable, in a black body with a flat diffuser.

Made to order, and no lead time is published

Domus asks you to call and confirm it. We will.

Black, neutral, and bright enough to hang high

• The exposed-services combination: a black body against bare or darkstructure, lit neutrally because people work under it. The fitting joins the ducts andconduit instead of fighting them; a white pendant there is the loudest object in theroom.
• And these ceilings are tall which is where output stops being adetail. Light falls off with the square of the distance, so a pendantat 3m above a bench delivers roughly a quarter of what the same fitting gives at1.5m.
• 2400lm at 100lm/W is what makes the higher mounting workable. Choosing 4000K over 3000K buys about 11% more light for the same 24W and in a tall volume you want it.
• The 3m suspension drop supplied covers ceilings up to about 4m at asensible working height. Above that, ask us.

And check the IP rating against the building

IP20 dry interior only. Converted warehouses often have an unsealedroof, a roller door or a dusty bay at one end, and none of those suits thisfitting. The finished, sealed parts are its home. For the rest, theDomus IMPACT range is IP66 and IK10.

The published specification

One consequence of “down only” worth planning for

There is no uplight component, so the structure above stays dark. In an exposed-services fitout that is usually the intent the services recede andthe working plane is lit. But if you wanted the ceiling volume read as part of thespace, this fitting will not do it and you would need separate uplighting.

Where it works

• Converted warehouses, studios and maker spaces the sealed, finished parts.
• Benches and workstations under exposed structure.
• Ceilings to about 4m the supplied drop reaches.
• Not where the ceiling volume should be lit down only.
• Not in a dusty or unsealed bay IP20.

EXPOSED-SERVICES CEILINGS ARE TALL, AND OUTPUT STOPS BEING A DETAIL THERE light falls off withthe square of the distance, so a pendant at 3m gives roughly a quarter of what it gives at1.5m. 2400lm at 100lm/W is what makes the higher mounting workable, and 4000Kbuys about 11% more than 3000K for the same watts. Down only the structure above staysdark.

Questions

Why does output matter more in an exposed-services space?

Because those ceilings are tall and light falls off with the square of the distance a pendant at 3m above a bench delivers roughly a quarter of what the same fitting gives at 1.5m. So a figure that is generous over a domestic island can be thin over a warehouse bench. 2400 lumens at 100 lumens per watt is what makes the higher mounting workable here, and choosing 4000K over 3000K buys about 11% more light for the same 24W.

How high can I hang it?

The 3m suspension drop supplied covers ceilings up to about 4m at a sensible working height, so most converted warehouses and warehouse offices are workable from the standard fitting with the cable shortened on site. Above that you run out, and whether Domus supplies a longer drop is not published ask us before specifying into a taller volume.

Will it light the ceiling as well?

No the beam is 120 degrees, down only, so there is no uplight component and the structure above stays dark. In an exposed-services fitout that is usually the intent: the services recede and the working plane is lit. But if you wanted the ceiling volume read as part of the space, this fitting will not do it and you would need separate uplighting.

Can I use it throughout a converted warehouse?

In the finished, sealed parts, yes. Where it becomes a problem is an unsealed roof, a roller door or a dusty bay at one end it is IP20, dry interior only, and IP2x is not dust-protected either. Those are common features of exactly this kind of building, so it is worth checking rather than assuming. For those areas, ask us about the Domus IMPACT range at IP66 and IK10.

Why black rather than white?

Because against bare or dark structure a black body joins the ducts and conduit instead of fighting them, where a white pendant is the loudest object in the room. It is a deliberate choice about whether the fitting reads as part of the ceiling or as an object hung below it.

Why 4000K rather than 3000K?

Two reasons here. It keeps the space reading as a workplace 3000K against black structure reads as a bar, which is right for a bar and wrong for a studio. And it publishes 2400lm against 3000K’s 2160lm for the same 24W, which is about 11% more light in a space where the mounting height is already working against you.

What warranty and lifespan?

Three years, replacement type the right cover for an integrated LED with no serviceable lamp. The rated lifespan is not published for this range, which is the one gap in an otherwise complete specification. Ask us if you need it for a maintenance schedule.
