The Domus NEO-PRO REC is a recessed LED downlight in13W, 25W or 35W, black or white, with ananti-glare deep-set frame, switchable3000K / 4000K / 5700K and an integrated dimmable driver.

Two things to settle before anyone cuts a ceiling.

1. The cutout. The 13W takes 90mm. We arenot publishing cutouts for the 25W and 35W, because the datasheets we holddo not give them and a larger LED body normally needs a larger hole. Three families in thiscatalogue already need two different cutouts under one model name. Tell us the wattage and wewill confirm the hole size with Domus first.

2. The IP65 has a footnote. The datasheet says IP65 from frontonly. That is the rating you get looking up at it from the room not from above.It means it can go in a bathroom or a covered alfresco ceiling, and it doesnot mean the back of the fitting is sealed against water in the ceiling void.

What PRO adds over the standard NEO

• A higher IP rating which is what puts it in wet areas at all.
• An anti-glare deep-set frame. The LED sits back from the aperture behind a frosteddiffuser, so you are not looking straight at the source. In an open-plan room with a lot of downlightsthat is the single biggest comfort difference.
• TRIO colour switching by dip switch at the back of the fitting.
• An integrated dimmable driver with flex and plug no separate driver to finda home for above the ceiling.

Choosing the wattage

• 13W 850lm at 3000K, 1,000lm at4000K, 900lm at 5700K, 80 beam,90mm cutout. The standard residential downlight.
• 25W for higher ceilings or wider spacing.
• 35W commercial ceilings and high spaces.
• Output and cutout for the 25W and 35W are not published here. Thedata we hold covers the 13W. Ask us and we will get the rest from Domus rather than scale the13W figures, which would be a guess.

The colour switch, and where each setting belongs

• 3000K living areas, bedrooms, hallways.
• 4000K kitchens, bathrooms, laundries. Also the brightest setting at1,000lm.
• 5700K garages, workshops, task areas.
• Set the dip switch before the fitting goes into the ceiling. Changing itafterwards means dropping the fitting back out.

Dimming

Fully dimmable with suitable dimmers the driver is built in. Thequalifier matters: suitable is doing real work in that sentence, and a mismatched dimmeris the usual cause of flicker or a limited bottom end. Tell us the dimmer and we will confirmthe pairing.

Where it works

• Bathrooms and covered alfresco ceilings IP65 from the front.
• Open-plan living, where the anti-glare frame is worth paying for.
• Kitchens, hallways, bedrooms.
• Do not cut a ceiling for the 25W or 35W until we confirm the hole size.
• The IP65 is front-only not protection for the back of the fitting in the void.

Questions

What size hole does it need?

90mm for the 13W. For the 25W and 35W we are not publishing a figure, because the datasheets we hold do not give one and a larger LED body normally needs a larger hole. Three other families in this catalogue already need two different cutouts under one model name, so this is not a theoretical worry. Tell us the wattage and we will confirm with Domus before anyone cuts.

Can it go in a bathroom?

Yes that is what the PRO version is for. It is IP65 from the front, which is the rating you get looking up at it from the room, so it suits bathroom and covered alfresco ceilings subject to your electrician and the zones in AS/NZS 3000.

What does “IP65 from front only” mean?

It means the seal is on the face of the fitting, not around the whole body. From the room side it is protected against water jets; the back of the fitting sitting in the ceiling void is not sealed to the same standard. In practice that is fine for a bathroom ceiling and it is not a substitute for keeping the void dry.

How bright is the 25W or 35W?

We are not publishing figures for them. The datasheet we hold covers the 13W 850 lumens at 3000K, 1,000 at 4000K, 900 at 5700K. Scaling those by wattage would be a guess, and efficacy does not stay flat across a range. Ask us and we will get the real numbers.

Does it need a separate driver?

No. The driver is integrated and comes with a flex and plug, so there is no separate box to find a home for above the ceiling. That also means the whole fitting is replaced as a unit at end of life.

Is it really dimmable?

Fully dimmable with suitable dimmers and “suitable” is doing real work in that sentence. A mismatched dimmer is the usual cause of flicker or a poor bottom end. Tell us which dimmer you are using and we will confirm the pairing before you buy both.

What makes it less glary than a normal downlight?

The LED sits deep in the frame behind a frosted diffuser rather than flush with the aperture, so you are not looking straight at the source. In an open-plan room with a lot of downlights that is the single biggest comfort difference between one fitting and another.
