The Domus SHADOW 1LT W/B is a single-direction exterior wall light taking aGU10 lamp, IP65,18010068mm in aluminium, inblack, white, copper, stainless steel or titanium silver.

Ask us whether a lamp is included before you order. This is aGU10 lamp-holder fitting and its variants are offered asTRIO, 3000K or 5000K alongside the five finishes.

A colour-temperature choice on a lamp-holder fitting normally means a lamp issupplied, but no source we hold states it either way. Tell us the finish and the colouryou want and we will confirm what is in the box with Domus and if a lamp is notincluded, we will quote the right GU10 with it.

The fitting takes up to 35W. Our record says 10W, which is a plausibleLED lamp wattage rather than the holder’s limit. 35W is the number that governs what cansafely be fitted.

What a single-direction wall light does

• All the light goes one way down the wall, or up it, depending on how it ismounted.
• Down is the usual and the safer choice outdoors: it lights a path, a doorthreshold or a step without throwing light into a neighbour’s window or up into the sky.
• Up grazes a rendered or stone wall for effect, and looks considered on a facade but check any obtrusive-light condition on the site first.
• A single-direction fitting creates a hard edge where the light stops. In a runalong a wall, space them so the pools overlap or the wall will read as a series of scallops with darkgaps.

Choosing the GU10

• GU10 is the 240V twist-lock base no driver, no transformer, wiresstraight in. That is the simplest exterior lamp arrangement there is.
• An LED GU10 at 57W gives roughly what a 50W halogen did and runscool inside a sealed IP65 body, which matters more outdoors than in.
• Beam: 36 for a tighter pool on a path or a step;60 for a wider wash down a wall.
• Colour: 3000K on render, brick, stone and timber warmlight outdoors reads as light; cooler reads as security.
• Do not exceed 35W, and if you are fitting halogen rather than LED, respect itstrictly heat in a sealed IP65 housing has nowhere to go.

IP65, and choosing the finish

• IP65 full weather exposure, including being hosed. That is the right ratingfor an unprotected wall, unlike the IP23 and IP44 fittings elsewhere in this catalogue.
• Black and white disappear against most walls.
• Stainless steel is the choice near the coast and where the fitting will beseen.
• Copper will weather and patina over time. On the right house that is the point; it is not a finish that stays as it arrives.
• Titanium silver sits between black and stainless a mid grey that readsmodern against render.

Size and mounting

180mm wide, 100mm deep, 68mm high, aluminium, 240V AC.

Its 100mm projection is worth checking beside a door frame, on a narrowwalkway, or anywhere someone passes close to the wall.

Where it works

• Entries, thresholds, paths and steps mounted downward.
• Grazing a render, brick or stone facade mounted upward.
• Fully exposed walls and coastal positions IP65, stainless.
• Do not exceed a 35W lamp.
• Space a run so the pools overlap, or you get scallops with dark gaps.
• Confirm with us whether a lamp is included.

Questions

Does it come with a globe?

Ask us and we will confirm before it ships. It is a GU10 lamp-holder fitting, but its variants are offered as TRIO, 3000K or 5000K alongside the five finishes and a colour-temperature choice on a lamp-holder normally means a lamp is supplied. No source we hold states it either way, so we are not going to assume. If a lamp is not included, we will quote the right GU10 with it.

What is the maximum lamp wattage?

35W, from the datasheet. Our record says 10W, which is a plausible LED lamp wattage rather than the holder’s limit. With LED it is academic a 57W GU10 gives roughly what a 50W halogen did but if you are fitting halogen, respect the 35W strictly, because heat inside a sealed IP65 housing has nowhere to go.

Does it need a driver or transformer?

No. GU10 is the 240V twist-lock base, so it wires straight in with nothing between it and the mains. That is the simplest exterior lamp arrangement there is, and it is a real advantage over the 12V MR16 fittings elsewhere in this range, which all need a driver.

Should it point up or down?

Down is the usual and safer choice outdoors it lights a path, a threshold or a step without throwing light into a neighbour’s window or up into the sky. Up grazes a rendered or stone wall for effect and looks considered on a facade, but check any obtrusive-light condition on the site first.

How far apart should I space them?

Close enough that the pools of light overlap. A single-direction fitting creates a hard edge where the light stops, so a run spaced too widely reads as a series of scallops with dark gaps between them. Tell us the wall length and the mounting height and we will suggest a spacing.

Which finish should I choose?

Black and white disappear against most walls. Stainless steel is the choice near the coast and anywhere the fitting will be seen. Copper will weather and patina over time on the right house that is the point, but it is not a finish that stays as it arrives. Titanium silver is a mid grey that reads modern against render.

Is it suitable for a fully exposed wall?

Yes. IP65 covers water jets from any direction, including being hosed, which makes it suitable for an unprotected wall unlike the IP23 and IP44 fittings elsewhere in this catalogue that need to sit under cover.
