Domus asks you to call and confirm it. We will.

It is aluminium but a material filter will not find it

• Every Maxi 40, Maxi 50 and Maxi Curve is the same extruded aluminium body.The white and black ones are powder-coated aluminium and Domus’s ownspecification confirms it, listing the material as Aluminium on the listings that state it.
• But only 24 of the 71 listings across those ranges record a material value, and they are exactly the 24 whose TITLE contains the word Aluminium.All 47 black and white listings record nothing.
• So the field is tracking the colour word in the title, not the product. A buyer filtering on aluminium sees 24 of 71 identical bodies and this listing, which is aluminium, is not among them.
• We measured it across two independently catalogued ranges and the pattern is identical inboth, which makes it a house convention rather than one range’s data-entryslip.
• If the material matters to your specification, ask us rather than filtering. We can tell you what every listing in both ranges is actually made of.

The published specification

Why an aluminium body matters at all

An extruded aluminium body is the heat path for the LED strip. Theextrusion is the heatsink which is why these fittings are built from it ratherthan from plastic, and why the body should not be boxed in or insulatedagainst. Suspended below the ceiling, it has all the air it needs.

Where it works

• 1.8m islands and dining tables at 3000K.
• White and plasterboard ceilings the body recedes.
• Residential and hospitality interiors.
• Anywhere colour is judged CRI90.
• Not anywhere damp IP20.

Questions

What is it made of?

An extruded aluminium body, powder-coated white. Every Maxi 40, Maxi 50 and Maxi Curve is the same extrusion the white and black ones are simply coated and Domus’s own specification confirms the material on the listings that state it.

Why does a material filter not find it?

Because the field tracks the colour word in the title rather than the product. Only 24 of the 71 listings across those ranges record a material value, and they are exactly the 24 whose title contains the word “Aluminium” all 47 black and white listings record nothing. So a buyer filtering on aluminium sees 24 of 71 identical bodies, and this listing, which is aluminium, is not among them.

Is that a mistake on this listing or a pattern?

A pattern, and we measured it rather than assuming. The behaviour is identical across two independently catalogued ranges the Maxi 40 at 18 of 18 titled listings and 0 of 35 others, the Maxi 50 at 6 of 6 and 0 of 12 which makes it a house convention rather than one range’s data-entry slip. If the material matters to your specification, ask us rather than filtering; we can tell you what every listing in both ranges is actually made of.

Does the aluminium body do anything functional?

Yes it is the heat path for the LED strip. The extrusion is the heatsink, which is why these fittings are built from it rather than from plastic, and why the body should not be boxed in or insulated against. Suspended below the ceiling it has all the air it needs, so in normal use this is not something you have to design around.

How much light does it give?

2160 lumens at 1800 lumens per metre, or 90 lumens per watt from 24W, at 3000K and CRI90. The 4000K version of the same fitting gives 2400 lumens for the same power, which is about 11% more if output matters more than warmth in your space.

Is CRI90 worth having?

It is high for a linear pendant of this kind and above the CRI 80 or better that the Domus MAX-50 profile range publishes. It matters wherever colour is judged food, merchandise, materials, skin tone and at 3000K it means warm light that still renders honestly.

Can I use it in a damp space?

No IP20, dry interior only. That rules out bathrooms, covered outdoor areas, commercial kitchens and unsealed bays. For those, ask us about the Domus IMPACT range at IP66 and IK10.
