This is a 1,800mm downrod and wiring loom for a Domus ceiling fan, inblack or white.

Confirm the fan model and your ceiling height with us before ordering.We hold two fields about this part.

What we can tell you: it is 1,800mm long from the title,because it is not recorded in any field it includes the wiring loom, and it comesin black or white.

What no source records: the rod diameter, the maximum fanweight, the coupling type, which fans it fits, whether mounting hardware isincluded, and the warranty term. There is no datasheet.

Our record also describes this rod as having a “built-in LED”. It does not it is a steel tube and a cable.

Send us your fan’s model number and the ceiling height and we will confirm the correct rodwith Domus. On a part that holds a spinning fan above people, that is not a detail to work out onthe day.

1,800mm is a very long rod and that narrows where it belongs

• Twice the length of the 900mm rods in this range.
• It belongs in a genuinely tall space a double-height living room, awarehouse conversion, a cathedral ceiling, a void over a stairwell. Roughly a 4m ceilingand above.
• On anything under about 3.5m it will put the blades near head height. Work itout before ordering: ceiling height, minus 1.8m of rod, minus the fan body, is where the bladessit.
• Australian standards set a minimum blade clearance above floor level. Yourelectrician will apply it but on a rod this long it is the first thing to check, not the last.

Why a long rod is a performance decision, not just a drop

• A fan needs air above it as well as below. Mounted close to a high ceiling itrecirculates the same air and moves noticeably less of it and it is also too far from the peopleit is meant to cool.
• Bringing the fan down into the occupied zone is the whole point. A fan at 4mdoes very little for someone sitting at 1m.
• But a long rod amplifies any imbalance. Wobble that would be imperceptible on ashort drop becomes visible on 1.8m, and the loads at the fixing point are higher because they actthrough a longer lever.
• Balance the blades carefully at commissioning, and fix into structure neverinto plasterboard alone.

The wiring loom is part of the package

• A longer rod needs a longer loom, made to length with the correct connectors at eachend which is why this is sold as a pair rather than as a bare tube.
• Do not extend a fan’s wiring by splicing. A joined cable inside a rotating assemblyis not a repair worth making, and on a 1.8m drop it is a long way from anywhere accessible.

What we are deliberately not publishing

Rod diameter. Maximum fan weight. Coupling type. Compatible fans. Included hardware. Warrantyterm.

None appears in the manufacturer’s data or our own record, and there is no datasheet. On astructural part carrying a fan at 1.8m of leverage, inventing any of them would be worse thanleaving them out.

Where it works

• Double-height rooms, warehouse conversions and cathedral ceilings roughly 4m andabove.
• Voids over stairwells and mezzanines.
• Where a fan mounted high would be too far from the people below.
• Not a standard or even a moderately high ceiling work out the blade height first.
• Not confirmed for any specific fan send us the model.
• Not a DIY job licensed electrician, fixed into structure.

Specifying it

1,800mm downrod with wiring loom for a Domus ceiling fan. Black or white.

No datasheet exists for this part, and its record holds two fields. Therod diameter, the maximum fan weight, the coupling type, the compatiblefans, the included hardware and the warranty term are all unrecorded and the1,800mm length itself appears only in the title. Our record’s “built-in LED” entry is thewrong field for a steel tube.

Send us your fan’s model number and your ceiling height and we will confirm the correct rodlength and the fit with Domus before you order. Installation by a licensed electrician,fixed into structure.

Questions

Will it fit my fan?

Send us the model number and we will confirm with Domus. No source we hold lists the compatible fans, the coupling type or the rod diameter, and there is no datasheet the record holds two fields. Downrods are rarely interchangeable between ranges because the coupling, the diameter and the loom connectors are all specific to the fan.

How high does my ceiling need to be?

Roughly 4 metres and above. This is twice the length of the 900mm rods in this range, so on anything under about 3.5m it will put the blades near head height. Work it out before ordering: ceiling height, minus 1.8m of rod, minus the fan body, is where the blades sit and Australian standards set a minimum blade clearance above floor level that your electrician will apply.

Why use a long rod at all?

Because a fan needs air above it as well as below, and because a fan at 4 metres does very little for someone sitting at 1 metre. Mounted close to a high ceiling it recirculates the same air, moves noticeably less of it, and is too far from the people it is meant to cool. Bringing it down into the occupied zone is the whole point.

Does a long rod cause wobble?

It amplifies any imbalance that is already there. Wobble imperceptible on a short drop becomes visible on 1.8 metres, and the loads at the fixing point are higher because they act through a longer lever. Balance the blades carefully at commissioning, and the fixing has to be into structure never into plasterboard alone.

What weight of fan is it rated for?

Not recorded in any source, and we will not estimate it on a structural part carrying a fan at 1.8 metres of leverage. Ask us and we will get the figure from Domus. Your electrician will want it too, so it is better to have before the visit than during it.

Does it include the wiring?

Yes the loom is included, made to the rod length with the correct connectors at each end, which is why it is sold as a pair rather than a bare tube. Do not extend a fan’s wiring by splicing: a joined cable inside a rotating assembly is not a repair worth making, and on a 1.8m drop it is a long way from anywhere accessible.

Does it have an LED in it?

No it is a steel tube and a cable. Our product record lists a “built-in LED” for this item and that is simply the wrong field rather than a wrong value.
