Modules & Frames

A modules and frames system is specified the same way as any other downlight: compare wattage, dimming protocol and IP rating side by side, since these determine whether the fitting meets the space’s output requirements and integrates with the building’s control system. Dimming protocol should match what’s already specified for the site, whether that’s DALI, 0-10V or TRIAC, so confirming compatibility before ordering avoids reworking the control wiring once the ceiling grid is in. IP rating matters less for standard commercial ceilings than it does for kitchens, plant rooms or covered outdoor soffits built on a grid system, so check the rating against the actual environment rather than assuming a standard indoor rating will do. Every frame also needs a compatible driver sized to the module’s load. Where a project uses a standard plasterboard ceiling instead of a grid, the Recessed range covers the same downlight performance without the frame.

Specifying a complete ceiling grid installation usually means sourcing more than the module and frame alone. Where part of a project uses a solid ceiling rather than a suspended grid, the Surface Mounted range offers a fitting that can be added without cutting into the grid or the plasterboard. Every installation also benefits from the right accessories: extension leads for awkward runs, junction boxes for tidy connections and covers for fire and acoustic compliance, all available through the Downlight Accessories range. Sourcing the frame, the downlight and the accessories from one supplier keeps the whole installation consistent and reduces the risk of a mismatched part turning up on site. Trade pricing and stock availability across the full range are confirmed through the Domus Partner network, so quantities and lead times are settled before the job starts.
