Its title says the arm type and not the direction and its twin says neither

• This listing: CHESTER-LARGE WALL BRACKET C-ARM curved arm, no direction stated.
• Its twin: CHESTER-LARGE WALL BRACKET no arm type andno direction.
• Both record 370 640mm. Identical. Only the web addresses separate them:this one ends c-arm-down, the other c-arm-up.
• This is the CURVED ARM facing DOWN. That is what you will receive.
• Order by SKU, not by title on a made-to-order fitting a mix-up costs tenbusiness days.

Down-facing: what it does

• The lantern hangs below the arm, so the light lands closer to whatever you arelighting a door, a step, a threshold, a path.
• It is the practical choice beside a back door, a garage door or a side entry, wherethe job is to light the ground rather than compose a facade.
• Less light reaches the wall above, so it does less for the appearance of thebuilding at night than the up-facing version.
• The curved arm keeps it looking traditional where a straight arm reads more uprightand formal. On a period frontage the curve almost always suits better.

The four CHESTER-LARGE brackets

No projection is recorded on any of the four, which on a wall bracket is theclearance figure. Ask us and we will measure one.

A B22 holder with no maximum wattage

One B22 lamp, not included, no maximum recorded. B22 LED at911W, warm, enclosed and damp rated. On a down-facing bracket beside a door thelantern sits near eye level, so warm and modest beats bright.

There is a replacement lens for it

The Requires: Lamp GT-161 line is the CHESTER-LARGE series code,and the series has a GTA-161 replacement acrylic panel set sold separately. The acrylicis what fails; the cast body lasts decades. Nothing extra is needed to install it.

Where it works

• Beside a front, back or garage door, lighting the approach.
• Over steps and thresholds, where light on the ground is the job.
• Along a path or boundary wall, repeated.
• Not where you want the facade lit use the up-facing version.
• Confirm the projection with us before a narrow passage.

Questions

Which bracket is this up or down?

Down. Its title says “C-ARM”, which gives the arm type and not the direction, and its twin is titled simply “WALL BRACKET” with neither. Both record identical dimensions of 370 640mm, so specification does not separate them either only the web addresses, this one ending c-arm-down and the other c-arm-up. Order by SKU rather than title; on a made-to-order fitting a mix-up costs ten business days as well as the part.

Should I choose this or the up-facing curved bracket?

What the light is for. Down-facing hangs the lantern below the arm, so the light lands closer to a door, a step or a path the practical choice beside a back door, a garage door or a side entry where the job is to light the ground. Up-facing puts the lantern above the arm and throws light onto the wall as well, which does more for how the building looks at night. Both are 370 640mm and both are made to order.

How far does it stand off the wall?

Not recorded, on any of the four CHESTER-LARGE brackets, and on a wall bracket that is the clearance figure. Ask us and we will measure one before you commit especially in a passage or beside a doorway, and especially here, because a clearance problem found on site after a ten-day production wait is an expensive discovery.

Why choose a curved arm over a straight one?

Appearance, mostly. A curved arm reads traditional and a straight arm reads upright and formal on a period or heritage frontage the curve almost always suits better, and on rendered modern brickwork a straight arm can look cleaner. There is a size difference too: the curved brackets are 370mm wide and 640mm tall, the straight ones 350mm wide at 655mm (up) or 570mm (down).

How long will it take to arrive?

Domus builds this to order and asks for up to 10 business days for production before it ships. It is not held in stock the body is powder-coated in your chosen colour after ordering, which is why five colours are offered rather than one. Order matched pairs together, because a second order starts its own ten days and a later powder-coat batch is not guaranteed to match.

What lamp should I use?

A B22 LED at 911W, warm at around 3000K, rated for enclosed and damp use. No maximum wattage is recorded anywhere in the CHESTER family, so ask us before going above about 15W. On a down-facing bracket beside a door the lantern sits near eye level, which makes a warm modest lamp matter more than it would on a post brightness at that height reads as glare.

Can I replace the lens if it goes cloudy?

Yes a GTA-161 panel set, the CHESTER-LARGE series replacement acrylic diffuser, is sold separately. The acrylic is the part that fails on these lanterns: UV yellows and embrittles it over years while the cast aluminium body lasts decades. Beside a door, where the lantern is close and well lit, yellowing shows sooner than it would at the top of a post.
