The Domus TURIN LARGE Wall Bracket Up is a wall-mounted exteriorlantern 650mm high, 270mm projection,B22, 240V, IP43, in fivecolours.

“Large” is a separate sub-family, not a size option

• The standard TURIN uses bracket reference GT-421 and offers post heights of1.32, 1.96 and 2.37m single, 1.49, 2.11 and 2.47m twin, and 2.47m triple.
• THE LARGE USES GT-481 AND ITS FAMILY PROSE LISTS ONLY ONE POST HEIGHT:Single Head on Post (2.45m).
• SO IT IS A PARALLEL RANGE WITH A LARGER LANTERN AND FEWER ARRANGEMENTS wall bracket, pillar mount, post top, pendant and a single tall post. No twin or triple option.
• THAT MATTERS WHEN PLANNING A PROPERTY. If a scheme needs a twin-head postat the gate and matching wall brackets at the door, the standard range does it and the Large doesnot. Decide the largest arrangement first, then pick the family that offersit.
• AND THE TWO SIZES SHOULD NOT BE MIXED ON ONE PROPERTY a largelantern beside a standard one reads as a mistake rather than a hierarchy.

Upward-facing, and what it is for

• The lantern sits on top of the S-arm rather than hanging beneath it. THAT IS THE CLASSIC COACH-LAMP POSTURE AND IT IS WHY MOST PEOPLE CHOOSETHIS ARRANGEMENT it reads as traditional and deliberate in a way the downwardversion does not.
• IT ALSO THROWS LIGHT UP THE WALL AS WELL AS DOWN, which on a facade withany texture brick, stone, render lights the building rather than just theground.
• THE COSTS ARE REAL THOUGH. Light goes into the sky, the source is visiblefrom a distance rather than shaded by the lantern body, and rain arriving down the wall reaches thelantern’s opening more directly.
• SO IT SUITS AN OPEN FRONTAGE, A SET-BACK HOUSE, OR A SHELTERED PORCH and it suits a boundary wall or a dense street far less well than the downwardversion.

A larger lantern changes the mounting height

• At 650mm high the Large lantern is noticeably bigger than the standard520mm. Its projection is 270mm, slightly less than thestandard down-arm’s 310.
• ON AN UPWARD BRACKET THE LANTERN SITS ABOVE THE FIXING, so the mounting height should beset from where you want the TOP of the lantern rather than the bottom. Around 1.8 to 2.0m to the fixing puts the lantern top at roughly 2.4m highenough to clear a doorway and low enough to feel proportionate to a single-storeyfacade.
• ON A TWO-STOREY FACADE a bracket mounted at door height can look undersized. Either raise it, or use the Large family precisely because a bigger lantern holds its own againsta bigger wall.
• Mount them at a consistent height along an elevation; uneven brackets are conspicuous atnight.

B22, no lamp, and opal matters more upward

The lamp is not included. ON AN UPWARD LANTERN THE SOURCE IS LESS SHADEDBY THE FITTING’S OWN BODY, so a clear or filament lamp is visible from further away and from moreangles. An opal B22 fills the lantern and reads as a glowing object rather than a brightpoint. On a larger lantern that also matters more, because a small bright source inside abig diffuser looks wrong. Warm rather than cool: at an entrance, cool white reads asinstitutional.

IP43 and the fixing face

IP43 covers spraying water to 60 from vertical not driving rain, hosing orsprinklers. On a wall fitting, rain running down the wall arrives from directly above,and an upward lantern’s opening is more exposed to it than a downward one’s. MOUNT IT UNDER AN EAVE OR IN A PORCH IF YOU CAN. And seal the fixing faceproperly at installation where the bracket meets the wall is where water sits, and it is the pointpeople check last.

What is published

Where it works

• Open frontages and set-back houses the classic posture.
• Two-storey facades a bigger lantern holds its own.
• Textured brick, stone or render it lights the wall.
• Not on a boundary or party wall take the downward version.
• Not mixed with standard TURIN the sizes clash.

Specifying it

Exterior wall bracket, upward S-arm, LARGE lantern. 650mm high, 270mm projection.B22, lamp not included. 220240V. IP43. Die-cast aluminium with moulded acrylic lens. Five colours.Bracket reference GT-481. Made to order, up to 10 business days. 1-year warranty. “LARGE” IS A SEPARATE SUB-FAMILY RATHER THAN A SIZE OPTION. It uses a different bracketreference GT-481 against the standard’s GT-421 and its family prose lists only ONE post height, 2.45 msingle, with NO twin or triple option. So if a scheme needs a twin-head post at the gate and matching wallbrackets at the door, the standard range does it and the Large does not. DECIDE THE LARGEST ARRANGEMENTFIRST, THEN PICK THE FAMILY THAT OFFERS IT and do not mix the two sizes on one property, because a largelantern beside a standard one reads as a mistake rather than a hierarchy.

Questions

Is “Large” just a bigger version?

It is a separate sub-family. It uses a different bracket reference GT-481 against the standard’s GT-421 and its family prose lists only one post height, 2.45m single, with no twin or triple option. The standard TURIN offers three single heights, three twin and one triple.

Does that affect how I plan a property?

It should. If a scheme needs a twin-head post at the gate and matching wall brackets at the door, the standard range does it and the Large does not. Decide the largest arrangement you need first, then pick the family that offers it.

Can I mix the two sizes?

Better not. A large lantern beside a standard one reads as a mistake rather than a hierarchy the difference is 650mm against 520mm, which is enough to look wrong and not enough to look deliberate.

Why choose the upward version?

Appearance, mainly. The lantern sits on top of the S-arm rather than hanging beneath it, which is the classic coach-lamp posture and reads as traditional and deliberate. It also throws light up the wall as well as down, so on a facade with texture brick, stone, render it lights the building rather than just the ground.

What does that cost?

Three things. Light goes into the sky, the source is visible from a distance rather than shaded by the lantern body, and rain arriving down the wall reaches the lantern’s opening more directly. So it suits an open frontage, a set-back house or a sheltered porch and suits a boundary wall or a dense street far less well than the downward version.

How high should I mount it?

Around 1.8 to 2.0 metres to the fixing, and set the height from where you want the top of the lantern rather than the bottom, because on an upward bracket the lantern sits above the fixing. That puts the lantern top at roughly 2.4m high enough to clear a doorway and proportionate to a single-storey facade. On a two-storey facade a bracket at door height can look undersized; either raise it, or use the Large family precisely because a bigger lantern holds its own against a bigger wall.

What lamp should I use?

An opal B22. On an upward lantern the source is less shaded by the fitting’s own body, so a clear or filament lamp is visible from further away and from more angles. On a larger lantern that matters more too, because a small bright source inside a big diffuser looks wrong. Warm rather than cool at an entrance, cool white reads as institutional.
