Domus LYNX 2 X 5W TRIO LED IP54 12/24V 175mm Long

The Domus LYNX 2 × 5 W is a surface-mounted up-and-down wall or step light — 175 mm long, IP54, tri-colour switchable, CRI ≥90, and dimmable. 12 or 24 V DC — a driver is required.

⛔ It is 12/24 V DC, and its record says 240 V AC

• ⛔ The record says voltage = 240V and ac_dc = AC. ✅ The datasheet says 12/24 V DC and requires a constant-voltage driver.
• ⚠ This fitting must not be connected to mains. ⭐ 12 Domus fittings sold as 12 V or 24 V carry the same wrong figure — read down from a 40-listing first pass, where 14 flags were drivers whose 240 V input is correct.
• ✅ There IS a 240 V version of this fitting — ⛔ and it is not dimmable.

⭐ The size we would specify most often

• ⭐ 739 lm across two emitters is enough to light a path properly and wash a wall visibly, without the 260 mm fitting's bulk on a domestic wall.
• ⭐ And it sits in the middle on efficiency too — 74 lm/W against 82 on the smallest and 62 on the largest. ⚠ The efficiency penalty grows with size in this range, which is worth knowing before defaulting to the biggest.
• ⭐ At 175 mm it reads as a considered fitting rather than a fixture on a domestic wall or a garden step.
• ⭐ Repeated along a path at regular centres, this is the one that looks right.

⭐ Up and down — and what that actually does

• Two emitters, one throwing up the wall and one down.
• ⭐ The downward half lights the ground you walk on. ⭐ The upward half is what makes the wall read as lit rather than the fitting read as bright — it is the difference between a row of glowing objects and a lit surface.
• ⚠ Which needs a surface to hit. ⭐ Against a wall it works; on a free-standing post or a low edge with nothing above, the up-light is wasted and a downward-only fitting is the better buy.
• ⭐ The 5 W single-emitter LYNX is that fitting, at the same 175 mm length.

⭐ CRI ≥90, and why it matters on the up-light

CRI ≥90 against the ≥80 of most of this catalogue. ⚠ Measured: 100 of 282 Domus products stating a CRI reach 90 — 35%, ⭐ a substantial minority clustered in strips, step lights and exterior wall lights. ⭐ Grazing light across brick, render or stone is the hardest test of colour rendering there is: at CRI 80 warm masonry goes grey, at 90 it holds its colour.

Specifying it

• 628 lm at 3000 K, 702 at 4000 K, 739 at 5000 K. 120°. 50,000 hrs. IP54.
• Cast aluminium, chromate pre-treated before powder coating — ⭐ what stops coating lift in wet positions.
• TPS cable gland; ⚠ wire in parallel so every fitting sees full voltage.
• ⛔ Its power field records 5 W on a 2 × 5 W fitting — ⭐ size the driver on 10 W each.
• ⛔ application = Indoor on a fitting typed Exterior Wall Lights. ⛔ No warranty recorded.

Where it works

• Paths and garden steps against a wall — ⭐ the general-purpose size.
• Domestic entry walls, where 260 mm would be heavy.
• Repeated runs on one driver, wired in parallel and dimmed together.
• ⚠ Not on a free-standing edge — ⭐ the up-light needs a surface.
• ⛔ Not on mains, despite the record.

Specifying it

Surface-mounted up/down LED wall and step light. 175 mm. 2 × 5 W (10 W total). 12 or 24 V DC — constant-voltage driver required, wired in parallel. Switchable 3000 K / 4000 K / 5000 K. 628–739 lm. CRI ≥90. 120°. IP54. Cast aluminium, chromate pre-treated and powder coated. TPS cable gland. 50,000 hrs. Dimmable. Black or White. ⛔ ITS RECORD SAYS 240V AC — it is a 12/24V DC fitting and must not be connected to mains. ⭐ The 240V version exists and is NOT dimmable. ⛔ The power field records 5W on a 2 × 5W fitting: size the driver on 10W each. ⛔ Warranty not recorded.
