The Domus LUMALINE-2 is a 900mm linear up-and-down wall light 34.5W giving 1,328lumens each way, in aluminium, black orwhite, with an opal PMMA diffuser. Indoor use it is rated IP20.

This is an INDOOR fitting, despite its category. Ourcatalogue files it under Outdoor Up/Down Wall Lights. The datasheet says IP20 no water protection at all and the manufacturer’s own description says it isfor any interior space, residential or commercial.

Do not put it outside, in a bathroom, or under an eave. For an exterior up/down walllight, ask us about the SHADOW range at IP65.

A 900mm line of light, up and down and why that is different

Most up/down wall lights are compact fittings throwing two cones. This throwstwo continuous bands the full 900mm:

• No scallops. A point-source up/down light paints two arcs on the wall with darkgaps between fittings. A 900mm line gives an even band top and bottom, which iswhat makes it read as architecture rather than as a light fitting.
• The LED strip is concealed behind an opal PMMA diffuser, so you see the litsurface and not the source no glare at any angle, which is what allows it ateye level in a corridor or beside a bed.
• Designed with no visible mounting screws a detail that matters on a fittingthis size, and one Domus call out specifically.

1,328 lumens each way what that actually does

• 1,189lm at 3000K, 1,328lm at 4000K, 1,347lm at5000K each way, so around 2,650lm total at4000K.
• That is enough to light a corridor or a stairwell on its own, which mostdecorative wall lights are not.
• 110 beam wide, so the bands spread rather than staying tight to thewall.
• It is indirect light. The wall does the work, so a dark wall absorbs it and alight one multiplies it. On charcoal paint you will get far less than on white.

The colour is fixed at purchase

Our record flags this product as colour-changing. It is not. The nine variants arethree finishes three FIXED colour temperatures the one you order is theone you keep.

• 3000K warm. Residential corridors, bedheads, hospitality.
• 4000K neutral. Commercial corridors, lobbies, stairwells theusual default.
• 5000K cool. Clinical and back-of-house.

Order the whole job in one colour and one batch. Two LUMALINEs of slightlydifferent colour on one corridor wall are obvious.

It does not dim

On a 2,650-lumen indirect fitting destined for corridors and hospitality, that is a real limitationand the first thing to check against your brief. If you need dimming, ask us there are dimmable linear options in this range.

Mounting

• Mount it vertically or horizontally a vertical 900mm line beside adoor or a bedhead reads quite differently from a horizontal band along a corridor.
• Close to the wall, as the fitting is designed the bands develop up anddown the surface.
• Keep clear wall above and below. A cornice, a skirting or a picture rail will cutone band off and waste half the fitting.
• Our record lists its height as 900mm, which is its length it is a linear fitting, and the orientation is yours to choose.

Where it works

• Corridors, lobbies and stairwells enough output to light them alone.
• Bedheads and hospitality walls no glare at eye level.
• Feature walls with a good finish the bands show the surface.
• Indoors only IP20, despite the category.
• It does not dim, and the colour is fixed at purchase.

Questions

Can it go outside?

No and our catalogue category is wrong on this point. It is filed under Outdoor Up/Down Wall Lights, and the datasheet says IP20, which is no water protection at all. The manufacturers own description says it is for any interior space, residential or commercial. Do not put it outside, in a bathroom, or under an eave. For an exterior up/down wall light, ask us about the SHADOW range at IP65.

How is it different from a normal up/down wall light?

It throws two continuous bands rather than two cones. A point-source fitting paints arcs on the wall with dark gaps between fittings; a 900mm line gives an even band top and bottom, which is what makes it read as architecture rather than as a light fitting. The LED strip is concealed behind an opal diffuser, so there is no glare at any angle which is what allows it at eye level in a corridor or beside a bed.

Is it bright enough to light a corridor?

Yes 1,328 lumens each way at 4000K, so around 2,650 lumens in total. That is enough to light a corridor or stairwell on its own, which most decorative wall lights are not. But it is indirect: the wall does the work, so a dark wall absorbs it and a light one multiplies it. On charcoal paint you will get far less than on white.

Can I change the colour temperature?

No. Our record flags it as colour-changing and it is not the nine variants are three finishes by three fixed colour temperatures, and the one you order is the one you keep. Order the whole job in one colour and ideally one batch; two LUMALINEs of slightly different colour on one corridor wall are obvious.

Can it be dimmed?

No, and on a 2,650-lumen indirect fitting destined for corridors and hospitality that is a real limitation it is the first thing to check against your brief. If you need dimming, ask us; there are dimmable linear options in this range.

Can I mount it vertically?

Yes. A vertical 900mm line beside a door or a bedhead reads quite differently from a horizontal band along a corridor. Note our record lists its height as 900mm, which is really its length the orientation is yours to choose.

How much clear wall does it need?

Enough above and below for the bands to develop. A cornice, a skirting or a picture rail will cut one band off and waste half the fitting.
