Domus Track 3 Circuit Emergency Kit Class D40

The Domus Track 3-Circuit Emergency Kit is a D40-classified emergency luminaire on a track adaptor — for 3-circuit track, in black or white.

⭐⭐ Emergency lighting that moves with the shop

• ⭐ Emergency luminaires are normally fixed — recessed or surface-mounted at positions determined by a spacing calculation. ⭐ Once installed, they stay.
• ⭐⭐ THAT IS A PROBLEM IN RETAIL, WHERE THE FLOOR LAYOUT CHANGES. ⭐ A shop that moves its shelving has moved its escape routes, and emergency lighting positioned for the old layout may no longer light the new one correctly.
• ⭐ A TRACK-MOUNTED EMERGENCY FITTING SLIDES. ⭐ When the aisles move, the emergency lighting moves with them — without an electrician, without a new penetration, and without re-running cable.
• ⭐ IT ALSO MEANS THE EMERGENCY PROVISION USES INFRASTRUCTURE THAT IS ALREADY THERE — ⭐ on a fitout with track through the sales floor, no separate emergency circuit or ceiling work is needed for those positions.
• ⚠ THE COMPLIANCE POINT REMAINS: the spacing still has to satisfy the certifier, and a fitting that can move is a fitting that can be moved WRONG. ⭐ Record the compliant positions and check them after any layout change.

⭐ D40 classification, and what it decides

• ⭐ The classification is D40 under AS2293.3. ⭐ The letter describes the light distribution and the number is a spacing basis.
• ⭐⭐ PRACTICALLY IT TELLS A DESIGNER HOW FAR APART THESE CAN SIT and still meet the required floor illuminance — ⭐ which drives the cost of an emergency scheme more than the lumen output does.
• ⭐ D40 is the lower of the two classifications in the Domus emergency range; the D63 fittings elsewhere give wider spacing and more light. ⭐ On a large open floor that difference means noticeably fewer fittings.
• ⭐ Your certifier will work from the spacing tables rather than the classification number alone. ⭐ Tell us the floor area and we will check the count with you before ordering.

⚠ Which circuit should it be on?

⭐⭐ THIS IS THE QUESTION THE PRODUCT RAISES AND THE LISTING DOES NOT ANSWER. ⭐ An emergency luminaire needs a permanent live to keep its battery charged, while the whole point of a 3-circuit track is that circuits are switched. ⭐ A fitting on a circuit that is switched off overnight is a fitting whose battery is charging only during trading hours. ⭐ THE USUAL ANSWER IS TO DEDICATE ONE CIRCUIT AS PERMANENTLY LIVE for emergency fittings — ⭐ which uses one of your three, and is a decision to make at fitout rather than afterwards. ⭐ Confirm the arrangement with us and your electrician before ordering.

⛔ What is not published, and it is nearly everything

• ⛔ No datasheet is attached. ⛔ No lumen output, no duration, no battery type, no charge time, no dimensions, no weight, no warranty.
• ⭐⭐ FOR AN EMERGENCY LUMINAIRE THE DURATION IS A COMPLIANCE FIGURE — ⭐ AS2293 requires a minimum maintained period, and it is not something to assume. ⭐ Nor is whether the unit is self-testing, which for a fitting on a shop floor determines who has to test it and how often.
• ⭐ WE HAVE NOT ESTIMATED ANY OF IT. ⭐ Its record publishes only bulb_type and application, which tell a buyer nothing.
• ⭐ ASK US BEFORE SPECIFYING THIS ON A COMPLIANCE SCHEME. ⭐ The concept is sound and the figures need confirming.

⭐ Where the idea earns its place

⭐ Retail fitouts that rearrange, pop-up and seasonal stores, galleries that rehang, and any tenancy where the fitout will change within the life of the building. ⭐⭐ IN A SHELL-AND-CORE TENANCY IT IS PARTICULARLY USEFUL: the landlord provides track and the tenant hangs both the display lighting and the emergency provision from it, so a fitout change does not become a ceiling job. ⚠ In a fixed layout — an office, a corridor, a stairwell — a conventional fixed emergency fitting is simpler, cheaper and not worse.

✅ What is published

Where it works

• ⭐⭐ Retail fitouts that rearrange — ⭐ the emergency moves too.
• ⭐ Shell-and-core tenancies — ⭐ landlord track, tenant fitout.
• ⭐ Pop-up and seasonal stores.
• ⚠ Not in a fixed layout — ⭐ a conventional fitting is simpler.
• ⛔ Not on a compliance scheme without confirming the duration.

Specifying it

D40-classified emergency luminaire on a 3-circuit track adaptor. Black or white. Classification to AS2293.3. ⭐⭐ EMERGENCY LIGHTING THAT MOVES WITH THE SHOP. Emergency luminaires are normally fixed at positions determined by a spacing calculation, which is a problem in retail — a shop that moves its shelving has moved its escape routes, and lighting positioned for the old layout may not serve the new one. A track-mounted fitting slides with the aisles: no electrician, no new penetration, no re-run cable. ⚠ THE QUESTION THE LISTING DOES NOT ANSWER IS WHICH CIRCUIT: an emergency fitting needs a permanent live to charge, and 3-circuit track exists to be switched. ⛔ NO DURATION, OUTPUT, BATTERY OR SELF-TEST DETAIL IS PUBLISHED, and duration is a compliance figure — ask us before specifying it.
