Made to order, and no lead time is published

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

Mounting a 2.4 m tube what is answered and what is not

• Four of the six are answered, and the two that are not are specific which makes them a short question rather than an open-ended one.
• The spacing matters because it is two fixings into structure, set outbefore the ceiling closes, and moving one afterwards is a repair rather than anadjustment.
• The weight decides whether the fixing goes into a joist, a noggin or a proprietaryanchor and absent from the drawing it becomes a decision made on site.
• Ask us for both with the lead time. One enquiry, and it removes theremaining unknowns.

And two points is an advantage

A tube held at two points hangs level and stays level. A single-pointpendant rotates and drifts, and on a 2.4m line beside a wall or a table edge thatdrift is visible from the far end of the room. The round profile helps too on the low-diffuser sibling Domus publishes 50mm, so there is no flat face toalign and a small rotation is invisible. Whether this high-diffuser version shares thatsection is not published.

The published specification

Where it works

• 3.6m tables, bars and long counters.
• Ceilings to about 4m the supplied drop reaches.
• Dark and exposed ceilings.
• Not set out until we have the spacing and the weight.
• Not anywhere damp IP20.

Questions

What do I need to know before setting out the ceiling?

Six things, and four are answered. It is 2400mm long, a 3m suspension drop is supplied and shortened on site, that reaches ceilings up to about 4m at a working height, and a 2.4m tube takes two suspension points by convention. The two that are not published are the spacing between those points and the weight which makes them a short, specific question rather than an open-ended one.

Why does the spacing matter so much?

Because it is two fixings into structure, set out before the ceiling closes, and moving one afterwards is a repair rather than an adjustment. On a plasterboard ceiling the positions also have to coincide with joists or noggins, so they need to be known while the framing is still accessible. Ask us for the figure with the lead time.

Why does the weight matter?

It decides whether the fixing goes into a joist, a noggin or a proprietary plasterboard anchor. Absent from the drawing, that becomes a decision made on site usually conservatively, occasionally not. A 2.4m aluminium tube with a diffuser and two drops is not heavy in absolute terms, but “not heavy” is not a number an installer can design a fixing around.

Is two suspension points a disadvantage?

No an advantage. A tube held at two points hangs level and stays level, where a single-point pendant rotates and drifts, and on a 2.4m line beside a wall or a table edge that drift is visible from the far end of the room. The round profile helps too: Domus publishes 50mm on the low-diffuser sibling, so there is no flat face to align and a small rotation is invisible.

Does this version share the 50mm section?

Not confirmed. 50mm is published on 30280, the low-diffuser sibling at this length, and if the flush/raised/recessed convention holds a high diffuser would sit proud of that. The 2400mm length is published on every listing and is safe to draw; the depth is not. Ask us before it goes on a drawing.

How much light does it give?

4320 lumens at 1800 lumens per metre, or 90 lumens per watt from 48W, at 3000K and CRI90. The 4000K version of the same fitting gives 4800 lumens for the same power. Over a 3.6m table or bar that is a comfortable level and will want dimming.

Can I use it in a damp space?

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