Eight to ten people under one fitting and why that changes the argument

• 2.4m suits a table of about 3.6m a communal table, afunction-room setting, a long family dining table.
• Which means eight to ten people are eating under one fitting, and everyone of them should get the same light.
• A row of small pendants cannot do that. It puts a bright spot over someseats and a shadow between them and the people in the gaps notice.
• One continuous line spreads 4320lm evenly along the whole table at 120, so the seat at the end is lit like the seat in the middle.
• It also stays one visual object as the table fills. Three pendants lookordered when the room is empty and cluttered when it is set with glassware andcentrepieces.

CRI90, 3000 K, and dimming

• CRI90 over a dining table means food reads correctly and at3000K that is an unusual pairing, since warm sources often lose colour accuracy.
• 4320lm at full output is serving light, not dining light. Dimmed toroughly a fifth it suits a set table. The minimum level is not published tell us your control.
• Take FROSTED clear over 2.4m is a long row of bright pointsabove seated guests, and prismatic is a workplace optic.
• A white body disappears into a light ceiling, where a dark one at thislength is a strong horizontal element.

The published specification

Where it works

• 3.6m communal and function-room tables.
• Long family dining tables.
• White and plasterboard ceilings.
• Where everyone at the table should get the same light this is the case.
• Not without a dimmer 4320lm is serving light at full.

Questions

Why one long pendant rather than a row of small ones?

Because at this length eight to ten people are eating under one fitting, and every one of them should get the same light. A row of small pendants puts a bright spot over some seats and a shadow between them, and the people in the gaps notice. One continuous line spreads 4320 lumens evenly along the whole table at 120 degrees, so the seat at the end is lit like the seat in the middle.

Does it look better too?

It stays one visual object as the table fills, which a row does not. Three pendants look ordered when the room is empty and cluttered when the table is set with glassware and centrepieces the fittings start competing with what is on the table. A single line reads as architecture rather than as objects.

Will 2.4m suit my table?

It suits a table of about 3.6m roughly two-thirds the length, which lights the surface evenly without overhanging the ends. For a longer table, two pendants with a deliberate gap read as a pair rather than a stretched single, and the gap should be half a fitting length or more.

Do I need a dimmer?

Yes. 4320 lumens at full output is serving light, not dining light dimmed to roughly a fifth it suits a set table. It ships with an integral dimmable driver, but the minimum level Domus reaches is not published, and on a dining setting that is the figure that decides the evening. Tell us your control and we will confirm it.

Which finish over a dining table?

Frosted. Clear over a 2.4m span is a long row of bright points above seated guests, which photographs well and is uncomfortable to sit under. Prismatic is a workplace optic designed to cut glare off monitors and reads technical in a dining room. Black is a tinted diffuser that absorbs light by an amount nobody publishes.

Why CRI90 over a dining table?

Because food is looked at closely, and CRI90 renders close to natural light so it reads correctly. At 3000K that is an unusual pairing warm sources often lose colour accuracy, and most commercial linear at this colour temperature publishes CRI80, where reds flatten.

Why white rather than black at this length?

A white body disappears into a white or plasterboard ceiling, so what the room sees is the warm line rather than a 2.4m object. At this length that matters more than at shorter ones: a dark fitting on a light ceiling is a strong horizontal element, which is a deliberate design decision rather than a neutral one.
