DOMUS PLEO-14.4 NEON SIDE STRIP LIGHT

The Domus PLEO-14.4 Neon Side is a side-emitting LED neon flex — 14.4 W per metre, CRI90, dimmable, polyurethane enclosure, in 3000, 4000 or 5000 K.

⛔⛔ Its published lumen figures cannot be right

• ⭐ This listing publishes 320, 370, 346 and 330 lm against 14.4 W. ⭐ That is 22 to 26 lumens per watt.
• ⛔ No LED product achieves 22 lm/W. ⭐ A poor one manages 60; an ordinary one 90; this catalogue's own linear fittings run 76 to 100. ⚠ 22 lm/W is roughly halogen territory. ⭐ So the figures are wrong, whatever the explanation.
• ⭐ The most parsimonious reading: a leading digit has been dropped from all four. ⭐ Restore it and the set becomes 1320 / 1370 / 1346 / 1330 lm — ⭐ which is 92, 95, 93 and 92 lm/W: tightly clustered and entirely credible.
• ⭐⭐ And this catalogue has done it before. ⭐ The PIPE-60 linear pendant publishes 658 lm where its own description reads 1658 lm — ⭐ the identical error, caught the identical way. ⚠ Two instances of one error class is itself the finding.
• ⚠ Offered as reasoning rather than confirmed fact. ⭐ What is CERTAIN is that 22 lm/W is not achievable. ⭐ Ask us and we will get the real figures from Domus before you calculate anything from them.
• ⭐ A useful cross-check: the top-view version of this same product publishes 1123 to 1253 lm at the same 14.4 W — ⭐ 78 to 87 lm/W, and credible. ⚠ A genuine 3.5× gap between two versions of one flex would be extraordinary.

⛔ And its dimensions are a carton

⭐ It publishes 450 × 450 × 80 mm — ⚠ identical to the top-view listing, and obviously not a flexible strip. ⭐ Those are packaging dimensions: a coiled reel in a box. ⭐ The product itself is a continuous flex of roughly 10 mm section, ⛔ whose actual profile size is not published on this listing.

⛔ 220–240 V and DC at the same time

⭐ It publishes a voltage of 220–240 V and a current type of DC. ⚠ Those are inconsistent. ⭐ Neon flex is a 24 V DC product — eleven other listings in this family say exactly that. ⭐ 220–240 V is the MAINS INPUT to the driver that feeds it, not the flex itself. ⚠ Wiring 240 V to a 24 V flex destroys it instantly, ⭐ so this is a field worth being clear about. ⭐ Specify a 24 V DC driver.

⭐ What it actually is, and what it is for

⭐ A continuous, side-emitting neon flex in a polyurethane enclosure, supplied with mounting clips. ⭐ Because the emitter is continuous and diffused along its whole length, it reads as a solid line rather than a row of dots — ⭐ which is the whole reason to choose flex over a bare strip in a channel. ⭐ Domus names its applications: ceiling and floor coves, windows and similar architectural detail. ⭐ SIDE-emitting suits a curve laid out flat on a plane, ⚠ where a top-view flex would twist.

✅ What is published

Where it works

• Ceiling and floor coves, window reveals.
• ⭐ Curves laid out flat — ⭐ side emission follows them.
• ⭐ Where a continuous line matters — ⭐ no dots.
• ⛔ Not calculated from 320 lm — ⚠ ask us for the real figure.
• ⛔ Not wired to 240 V — ⚠ it is a 24 V DC product.

Specifying it

Side-emitting LED neon flex. 14.4 W per metre at 24 V DC. CRI90. 3000 / 4000 / 5000 K. Dimmable. 120° beam. IP66. Polyurethane enclosure, mounting clips included. 3-year warranty. ⛔ ITS PUBLISHED LUMEN FIGURES CANNOT BE RIGHT — 320 lm from 14.4 W is 22 lm/W, and no LED product achieves that; a poor one manages 60. ⭐ Restore a dropped leading digit and the set becomes 1320–1370 lm at 92–95 lm/W, tightly clustered and credible — the identical error this catalogue's PIPE-60 pendant carries. ⛔ IT ALSO PUBLISHES 220–240 V AND DC TOGETHER: it is a 24 V DC product, and 220–240 V is the mains input to its driver.
