The Domus BF-8284 is a 300mm raw ceramic wall uplight, only45mm high, taking two G9 lamps and suppliedunpainted.

It is the flattest fitting in the range, and that is deliberate

300mm wide, 150mm deep, 45mm high. A proportion of nearly seven toone.

• It reads as a shelf or a ledge rather than a lamp a flat wedge sittingagainst the wall with light coming off the top of it.
• Which suits a flush-plastered modern interior, where a chunky shade looks appliedand a low horizontal form looks built in.
• The 150mm depth is what makes the wedge work it holds two lamps farenough off the wall that the light spreads rather than scorching a stripe up the plaster.
• Check that 150mm in a corridor. It is a deep fitting even though it is ashallow one.

Two G9s across 300mm, and the wattage is settled

• 60W is the maximum per lamp 120W across the two. Across all 17 G9fittings in the BF range the datasheet says 60W whether the fitting takes one lamp or two, so it isnot a fitting total; the BF-2185 (one G9) says 40W; and theBF-2020 states 2x60W in its own title.
• Rated for it is not the same as fit it. A 45mm-deep ceramic body has verylittle air in it, and 120W of halogen in there is a poor idea. Two 4W LEDG9s come to 8W and give roughly what two 40W halogens did.
• Both lamps identical, bought together. Two different G9s across 300mm producea visibly split wash on the wall above.

What raw ceramic means

• Unfinished on arrival, painted by you any water-based paint, so the wedgecan vanish into the wall or be picked out against it.
• Porous until painted, so it marks.
• Indoor, dry areas only.
• Made in Italy, body-coloured throughout.

Choosing the lamps not supplied

• Two LED G9s, 34W, 27003000K, rated for enclosedfixtures and in a 45mm body, the enclosed rating matters.
• CRI 90 if the wall is a colour.
• Matched pair.

Where it works

• A hallway, repeated at regular centres the low form holds a rhythm withoutcrowding the wall.
• A living room with flush plaster, where the wedge reads as architecture.
• Above a bedhead a wide ceiling wash from a fitting that barely projectsvisually.
• Not on a poorly finished wall a flat wedge grazes plaster hard.

Questions

Is 45mm really the height, or is that a data error?

It is real. We flagged it as a candidate when we scanned every Domus product for implausible heights, then read it down: at 300mm wide and 150mm deep, 45mm high describes a flat wedge the same proportion as the BF-2607B at 50mm. It is a deliberate low horizontal form, not a mistyped figure. Two AVIGNON fittings elsewhere in the catalogue did turn out to be genuine errors; this one is not.

Is 60 watts per lamp or across both?

Per lamp 60W each, 120W the pair. We settled it across all 30 BF listings: the sheets say 60W whether a fitting takes one lamp or two, so it cannot be a fitting total; the one-lamp BF-2185 says 40W; and the BF-2020 states “2x60W” in its own title. It is rated for 120W of halogen and we would not fit it this body is only 45mm deep and there is almost no air in it. Two 4W LED G9s come to 8W.

Do both lamps have to match?

Yes. Two G9s of different colour temperature across 300mm of ceramic throw a visibly split wash up the wall, warm at one end and cooler at the other. Buy them together, same brand and same temperature, and keep a spare from the same batch.

How far does it stand off the wall?

150mm, which is deep for a fitting only 45mm tall and that depth is what makes it work. It holds the two lamps far enough out that the light spreads across the wall rather than scorching a stripe straight up it. In a narrow corridor 150mm is enough to notice, so measure the passage.

What lamps should I actually buy?

Two 34W LED G9s in 27003000K, explicitly rated for enclosed fixtures. In a 45mm body the enclosed rating is not a technicality many small G9 LEDs state they are unsuitable for enclosed fittings, and this is about as enclosed as a G9 gets. If the wall is a colour, pay for CRI 90.

Do I have to paint it?

No the raw ceramic is a deliberate look. It is porous until painted or sealed, so it marks more easily than a finished surface. Painted in the wall colour, a wedge this low genuinely does disappear into the plaster, which is usually the point of buying it.

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.
