Domus HYDRO-120 TEMP 40W 4000K LED Batten C/W F&p

The Domus HYDRO-120 is a 1,200 mm LED batten — 40 W, switchable 3000 K / 4000 K / 5000 K, supplied complete with flex and plug.

⛔ Its title names one colour temperature. It has three.

• The title reads “40 W 4000 K”. ⛔ The record lists 3000 K, 4000 K and 5000 K, and sets colour-changing technology to true.
• ⭐ So this is a tri-colour switchable batten and the title sells it as a single-colour one.
• ⚠ That understates the product in a way that costs a sale: a buyer who needs 5000 K passes over a fitting that does 5000 K.
• ✅ To be plain: you choose the colour temperature on a dip switch at installation. ⚠ Set it deliberately and note it — nothing on the outside shows it afterwards.

⚠ “TEMP” in the title is not a specification

• The title reads “HYDRO-120 TEMP 40 W”. ⚠ “TEMP” means nothing to a buyer — it is not a model, a variant or a feature.
• ⭐ It reads as an internal marker that escaped into a customer-facing name — a temporary record, a placeholder, or an abbreviation of something never expanded.
• ⚠ We are not going to guess what it meant, and we have flagged it. ⭐ What matters is that it is not a property of the fitting.
• ⭐ “C/W F&P” in the same title does mean something: complete with flex and plug — ⭐ it arrives ready to plug in rather than needing hard wiring, which for a workshop, a shed or a temporary installation is the whole point.

⭐ Flex and plug changes who can install it

• ⭐ A hard-wired batten needs an electrician. ⭐ A flex-and-plug batten needs a power point — and can be moved, taken with you, or re-sited without a callout.
• ⭐ Which suits a workshop, a garage, a shed, a market stall or a rented space where a permanent alteration is not wanted.
• ⚠ It also means the plug has to be somewhere sensible. Check the flex length reaches a point without a trailing lead across a floor — ⭐ ask us for the flex length before ordering if the point is far.

⛔ It records a lamp type it cannot use

• ⛔ Lamp type: T8 — ⚠ a fluorescent tube format. ⭐ This is an integrated LED batten with sealed SMD LEDs. There is no tube.
• ⭐ Settled by the sibling HYDRO-120 with a verified datasheet, which records SMD LEDs and no lamp type. ⭐ And of 30 Domus batten listings, 15 record nothing and 3 record “Built-in LED” — so T8 is the anomaly.
• ⚠ The practical consequence: no relamping and no tube to stock. When the LEDs fail the fitting is replaced.
• ⛔ It also records “Indoor”, ⚠ which on a HYDRO — a weatherproof range — is worth confirming. ⛔ This listing records no IP rating at all, where its siblings record IP65. ⭐ Ask us before using it anywhere damp.

Specifying it

• 40 W — ⚠ higher than the 15/30 W switchable siblings, and this one is not recorded as switchable in wattage.
• Switchable 3000 K / 4000 K / 5000 K.
• Polycarbonate and stainless steel. Complete with flex and plug.
• ⛔ No IP rating, no lumen output, no beam angle, no CRI, no lifespan and no warranty is recorded, and there is no datasheet. ⭐ The standard HYDRO-120 records 5 years and publishes all of the above — ⚠ ask us to confirm which of it applies here.

Where it works

• Workshops, garages and sheds — ⭐ plug in, no electrician.
• Temporary and rented spaces, where a permanent alteration is not wanted.
• Anywhere a power point exists and a lighting point does not.
• ⚠ Not anywhere damp until the IP rating is confirmed with us.
• ⚠ Not where a trailing flex would cross a floor.

Specifying it

1,200 mm LED batten. 40 W. Switchable 3000 K / 4000 K / 5000 K. Polycarbonate and stainless steel. Complete with flex and plug. ⛔ The title names 4000 K on a tri-colour switchable fitting — it does all three. ⚠ "TEMP" in the title is not a specification and means nothing to a buyer. ⛔ Its record says T8: it has sealed SMD LEDs and takes no tube. ⛔ No IP rating, lumen output, CRI, lifespan or warranty is recorded, and there is no datasheet — ask us before using it anywhere damp.
