The Domus VERSA-300 is a 300mm round bunker light for exterior walls andceilings, IP65 and IK08, with awattage switch (15 / 18 / 25W) and acolour switch (3000K / 4000K / 5700K), inplain or eyelid form, black or white.

Two dip switches, and both of them are worth using. One setsthe brightness low, medium or high and the other sets the colour temperature. Both areset before the fitting goes on the wall.

That is what VERSA means here: one product covers six specifications,so a builder can carry one box for a whole site and set each fitting to suit where it lands. Unusuallyfor this catalogue, all three wattages are correctly recorded on this listing several other wattage-switchable Domus products record none at all.

Plain or eyelid the choice that changes the light, not the look

• Plain throws light in every direction from the face, including upwards.
• Eyelid adds a hood over the top of the aperture, whichcuts the upward spill. That is the version to specify when the fitting isunder a bedroom window, near a neighbouring boundary, or on a site with an obtrusive-lightcondition and it also stops you looking straight into it from further up a path.
• The eyelid reduces the light thrown upward, not the total output. The light stillgoes down and sideways; it just stops going where it is not wanted.

The IK08 nobody records

IK08 is an impact rating it describes resisting a physical knock, which is adifferent question from resisting water.

• It is the reason to choose a bunker light over an ordinary exterior wall light ina car park, a shared stairwell, a bin store, a walkway or a school.
• Our record does not carry it, and neither do most listings of this kind. If impactresistance is part of your specification, this is the figure to quote and it is on thedatasheet, not on the record.

The numbers, and what we are withholding

• 15W: 830lm at 3000K, 850lm at 4000K.
• We are not publishing the 18W and 25W outputs. The datasheet’s lumentable does not extract cleanly for those settings, and publishing a number we cannot read withconfidence is worse than publishing none. Ask us and we will confirm them with Domus.
• 110 beam, CRI 80, 50,000hours,240V AC.
• Not dimmable. The three-step wattage switch is not dimming it isset once, at installation, and it is not controlled from a wall plate. Do not buy a dimmer for it.

Size

300mm across the face, 80mm deep. Our record also holds a widthand length of 320mm, which is 20mm larger than the stated diameter most likely themounting plate or the packed envelope. If it is going into a tight space, ask us and we willconfirm the true footprint.

Where it works

• Exterior walls and ceilings entries, walkways, carports, alfrescos.
• Car parks, stairwells, bin stores and schools IK08.
• Boundaries and under windows specify the eyelid.
• Sites needing one fitting set to several brightnesses.
• Not dimmable the wattage switch is not a dimmer.
• Confirm the footprint if the space is tight.

Questions

What is the difference between plain and eyelid?

The eyelid adds a hood over the top of the aperture, which cuts the light thrown upwards. Specify it where the fitting sits under a bedroom window, near a neighbouring boundary, or on a site with an obtrusive-light condition and where people approach from further up a path and would otherwise look straight into it. It reduces the upward spill, not the total output.

Can I dim it?

No, and this is worth being clear about because the wattage switch looks like dimming. The switch selects 15, 18 or 25W once, at installation, using a dip switch inside the fitting it is not controlled from a wall plate and it does not vary the light in use. Do not buy a dimmer for this one.

How bright is the 18W or 25W setting?

We are not publishing those figures. The 15W setting gives 830 lumens at 3000K and 850 at 4000K; the datasheet’s table for the higher settings does not read cleanly enough for us to quote it, and a misread lumen figure is worse than none. Ask us and we will confirm with Domus.

What does IK08 mean and do I need it?

It is an impact rating resisting a physical knock, which is a different question from resisting water. It is the reason to choose a bunker light over an ordinary exterior wall light in a car park, a shared stairwell, a bin store, a walkway or a school. It is on the datasheet rather than the product record, so quote it from here if it is part of your specification.

Is it suitable for full weather exposure?

Yes IP65 covers water jets from any direction, so an exposed wall or an open carport ceiling is fine, subject to your electrician and AS/NZS 3000.

How big is it really?

300mm across the face and 80mm deep. Our record also carries a width and length of 320mm, 20mm larger than the stated diameter most likely the mounting plate or the packed size. If it is going into a tight space, ask us and we will confirm the true footprint before you order.

Which colour temperature for an exterior?

3000K for a home entry, path or alfresco, where warm light is what people expect at night. 4000K for car parks, walkways and commercial entries where you want the space to read as bright. 5700K is available but reads harsh outside a house.
