The Domus BF-8411 is a 460mm raw ceramic wall light the widestsingle-lamp ceramic Domus makes 100mm high with a160mm projection, taking one E27 lamp and suppliedunpainted.

Our record says this light changes colour. It does not.

The listing carries colour changing technology: true.

• There is no LED in this product. It is a ceramic shell with anE27 lamp holder nothing to change colour, no driver, no controller, noremote.
• The colour of the light is decided entirely by the globe you screw in. A2700K lamp gives warm light; a 4000K one gives neutral.
• You can have colour change if you want it fit a smart E27 globe. Thefitting is only a holder and will not object.
• We flag it rather than quietly ignore it, because that field is what a filteredsearch uses to put this fitting in front of someone shopping for a colour-changing light.

And the lamp base is not recorded at all

All 29 of its siblings record a bulb type. This listing records none. Its datasheet says E27 the large screw base and that is what we havepublished. Not E14, the small one; the two do not interchange, and with the field blankthere is nothing on the listing itself to tell you which you need.

Two sources give two different maximum wattages

• The datasheet says 60W. Our record says 20W.
• 11 of the 12 E27 raw ceramics in this range carry the same conflict; the exception,the BF-2440, has a sheet genuinely reading 20W CFL the likely source of the rest.
• We work to the datasheets 60W; an E27 LED at10W sits under both, and across 460mm it is the wattage worth having.

460mm from a single lamp

• The widest single-lamp ceramic in the range, and the result is a broad, even bandrather than a bright patch which on a wall this size is what you want.
• Ambient, not task. One E27 has nearly half a metre to cover.
• The 160mm projection is among the deepest here. Combined with 460mm ofwidth this is a substantial object on a wall measure properly.

What raw ceramic means

• Unfinished on arrival, painted by you any water-based paint.
• Porous until painted, so it marks and at 460mm there is a lot ofsurface to keep clean.
• Indoor, dry areas only.
• Made in Italy, body-coloured throughout.

Where it works

• A broad living-room or hallway wall this needs the width to look right.
• Above a bedhead, for a wide, even wash with no lamp in view.
• A generous entry or stairwell landing.
• Not on a narrow pier, and not in a tight corridor 160mm of projection is a lot.

Specifying it

Raw ceramic wall light, made in Italy. 460mm wide 100mm high 160mm projection. Requires 1 E27 per the datasheet the lamp baseis not recorded on the listing at all. Not included. Maximum wattage: the datasheet says 60W andour record says 20W ( the same conflict is on 11 of the 12 E27 ceramics here). Our record also flags colour-changing technology; the fitting contains no LED and cannot changecolour the globe you fit decides that. Supplied unpainted, finishablewith any water-based paint. 220240V AC, hard-wired, indoor dry areas. Warranty 1 year.

Questions

Does it change colour? The listing says it does.

No, and the flag is wrong we have left it visible rather than quietly deleting it, because a filtered search would use it to put this fitting in front of someone shopping for a colour-changing light. There is no LED in this product: it is a ceramic shell with an E27 lamp holder, so there is nothing to change colour, no driver and no remote. If you do want colour change, fit a smart E27 globe the fitting is only a holder.

What lamp base does it take?

E27 the large screw base according to its datasheet. Worth asking, because this is the one listing of the thirty raw ceramics that records no bulb type at all; its twenty-nine siblings all carry one. E14 is the small screw base and the two do not interchange, so check what is in your hand before you drive to the shop.

Is the maximum 20 watts or 60 watts?

The datasheet says 60W and our record says 20W. Across the twelve E27 raw ceramics in this range, eleven carry the same conflict, and the twelfth the BF-2440 has a sheet genuinely reading “20W CFL”, which looks like where the figure came from. We work to the datasheet’s 60W. Across 460mm of fitting, a 10W E27 LED is the one worth having, and it sits under both readings.

Will one lamp light 460mm properly?

Evenly rather than brightly, which on a wall this size is the better result a bright patch on a broad surface looks worse than a soft band across it. It is the widest single-lamp ceramic Domus makes. Treat it as ambient light, not task light, and put a 10W E27 LED in it rather than an 8W.

How far does it stand off the wall?

160mm, among the deepest in this ceramic range, and combined with 460mm of width this is a substantial object on a wall. In a living room or a generous entry that reads as deliberate. In a tight corridor it is too much measure the passage before committing.

Will any E27 globe fit?

The base will, the body might not. E27 LEDs vary a lot in length and girth and the ceramic cavity is fixed, so a long candle or a large decorative globe can foul it. A compact globe shape is the safe choice, or send us the lamp and we will check it against the fitting.

Can it go in a bathroom?

No. Raw ceramic is porous until painted and the fitting is rated for indoor dry use only. For a bathroom, ask us for something with an IP rating suited to the zone.
