The Domus Maxi 40 is a 1.2m suspended LED linear pendant 24W, 2160lm, 3000K atCRI90, dimmable, in a black body with a low diffuser.

Made to order, and no lead time is published

Domus asks you to call and confirm it. We will and it matters twice,because a replacement is made to order too.

Three years, replacement and why the TYPE matters

• Domus publishes a 3-year warranty of the REPLACEMENT type.
• On an integrated LED that is the right form of cover, and it is worth understandingwhy. There is no lamp and no serviceable driver access when theLEDs or the driver fail, the fitting is replaced, not repaired. A repair warranty wouldbe close to meaningless on a product like this.
• Three years is a reasonable middle term. Across the Domus catalogue wemeasured 217 products at one year, 188 at three and only 28 at five so thissits with the larger of the two common tiers rather than the minimum.
• Every Domus warranty carries an asterisk 453 of the 453 thatrecord one and the conditions are not published anywhere. Ask us for them in writing before relying on the term.

The lifespan is the one figure genuinely missing

• Everything else you would want is published output, CRI, IP rating, length,beam, drop, engine, dimming options and warranty. The rated lifespan is not.
• Which matters for a maintenance budget rather than for a purchase decision. Over a 3-year warranty you are covered; beyond it you are estimating.
• For scale, the Domus MAX-50 profile range publishes 50,000hours about 13 years at 10 hours a day, or 8 in a hospitality room running 16. Whether the Maxi 40 matches that we cannot say, and will not guess. Ask us andwe will get it.
• On a run of eight or more, order a spare from the same batch itremoves the made-to-order wait, the powder-coat match and the still-made question in one go.

The published specification

Where it works

• Exposed-services and dark ceilings a black body disappears.
• Hospitality, bars and dark interiors at 3000K.
• Benches, islands and 1.8m tables.
• Runs of eight or more order a spare.
• Not anywhere damp IP20.

THE WARRANTY TYPE MATTERS AS MUCH AS THE TERM on an integrated LED with no lamp and noserviceable driver access, a REPLACEMENT warranty is the right cover, and a repair warranty would be closeto meaningless. Every Domus warranty is asterisked with no published conditions. The rated lifespan isthe one figure genuinely missing from an otherwise complete specification.

Questions

What warranty does it carry?

Three years, of the replacement type. On an integrated LED that is the right form of cover and the type matters as much as the term: there is no lamp and no serviceable driver access, so when the LEDs or the driver fail the fitting is replaced rather than repaired. A repair warranty would be close to meaningless on a product like this.

Is three years good for this catalogue?

It sits with the larger of the two common tiers. Measured across the Domus catalogue, 217 products record one year, 188 record three and only 28 record five so three years is the better of the two terms most products carry, rather than the minimum. Worth noting that every Domus warranty carries an asterisk 453 of the 453 that record one and the conditions are not published anywhere. Ask us for them in writing before relying on the term.

How long will it last?

The rated lifespan is not published, and it is the one figure genuinely missing from an otherwise complete specification. For scale, the Domus MAX-50 profile range publishes 50,000 hours, which is about 13 years at 10 hours a day or 8 in a hospitality room running 16. Whether the Maxi 40 matches that we cannot say and will not guess. Ask us and we will get it from Domus.

Does the missing lifespan affect my decision?

It affects the maintenance budget more than the purchase. Over the three-year warranty you are covered; beyond it you are estimating replacement timing without a manufacturer figure to estimate from. On a single fitting that is a minor unknown. Across a floor of them it is worth resolving before you commit, so ask us.

Should I order a spare?

On a run of eight or more, we would. It removes three problems at once: the made-to-order wait on a replacement, the powder-coat batch match, and the question of whether the model is still made in four years. One extra fitting bought with the original order and held on a shelf covers all of it.

What else is published?

Almost everything you would want: 2160 lumens at 1800 per metre and 90 lumens per watt, CRI90, 3000K, 24W at 240V, a 1200mm length, a 120 degree down-only beam, IP20, a 3m suspension drop, a PLEX-COB-20W LED strip with an integral dimmable driver, and DALI and emergency options on request. The gaps are the lifespan, the suspension-point spacing and the weight.

Why the black body at 3000K?

It is the dark-interior combination a black body disappears against a dark or exposed ceiling, so the room sees a warm lit line rather than a fitting, and the ceiling above stays dark. That contrast between a lit surface and an unlit surround is what a bar or a dark restaurant is built around.
