The Domus TURIN post top is an exterior lantern that sits on top of a post 485mm high, 105mm across, die-cast aluminium with a moulded acrylic lens,taking one B22 bayonet lamp, in beige, black, burgundy, green or white.Made in Italy, assembled and powder coated in Australia.

This item is made to order

Domus builds this fitting to order and asks for up to 10 business days for productionbefore it ships. It is not picked off a shelf.

• That is the trade-off for the finish choice. The body is powder-coated in the colouryou pick after you order, which is why the range offers five rather than one stocked colour.
• Plan the lead time into the job. If it is needed for a handover, a settlement or abooked electrician, tell us the date when you order and we will confirm the production window withDomus.
• Order the whole set together. On a property using several of these, a second orderplaced later starts its own ten days and a later powder-coat batch is not guaranteed to match thefirst.

The post is not included, and the record does not say whichpost it fits. A post top is by definition half a product you also need the column.Tell us the post you have, or the height you want, and we will confirm the fitting before youorder.

And it takes a B22 bayonet lamp, not an E27 screw unusual on anexterior fitting, and the detail people discover when the globe they bought will not go in.

Post top, pillar mount or wall bracket the same lantern, three jobs

The TURIN head is modular, and this configuration is the one for a column, pier orpost:

• Post top (this one) the lantern sits on top. Right for agate pier, a masonry column or a plain post, where you want the lantern to read as a finial.
• Pillar mount fixed to the side of a column.
• Wall bracket on an S-arm off a wall.
• Pendant, or a single, twin or triple head on posts from1.32m to 2.47m.

One lantern across a property post tops on the gate piers, brackets eitherside of the door, singles down the drive is what makes an exterior scheme look designed ratherthan accumulated.

IP43 and on a post top it is worth thinking about

Spraying water down to 60 from vertical.

• Rain from above is within it, which is the ordinary case for something sitting ona pier.
• Driving rain arrives closer to horizontal and is outside 60. On an open,wind-exposed gate pier this fitting is at the edge of its rating.
• Not for hosing, coastal spray or sprinkler overspray and a post top on alow pier can catch sprinkler throw, which is worth checking.

If the position is exposed, ask us for an IP44 or IP65 alternative.

485mm on a pier getting the proportion right

• At 485mm high and only 105mm across, this is a tall, slimlantern quite different in proportion from the Siena spheres.
• Slimness suits a narrow pier, where a wide sphere looks top-heavy.
• Height needs a pier with some presence. On a low garden wall, half a metre oflantern can look out of scale consider the Siena sphere or a bollard instead.
• In pairs, either side of a gate. Symmetry is what makes a post top read asdeliberate.

Choosing the lamp not supplied

• One B22. Behind the moulded acrylic lens it is diffused, so shape does notmatter.
• Warm 27003000K. Cool white on an entry reads institutional.
• Around 7001,000lm.
• Rated for enclosed fixtures and outdoor use.

Die-cast aluminium with a moulded acrylic lens, made in Italy,assembled and powder coated in Australia a local coating is easier to match ifa section is ever replaced. 220240V, hard-wired, licensed electrician anda cable run up the post. Warranty 1 year.

Where it works

• Gate piers and masonry columns in pairs.
• Narrow piers, where a sphere would look top-heavy.
• Traditional and heritage entries particularly burgundy, beige or green.
• IP43 ask us if the pier is open and wind-exposed.
• Post not included, B22 lamp not included.

Questions

Does it include a post?

No a post top is by definition half a product, and our record does not say which post it fits. Tell us the post you have, or the height you want, and we will confirm the fitting before you order.

What lamp does it take?

One B22 bayonet the push-and-twist base, not the E27 Edison screw. That is unusual on an exterior fitting and it is the detail people discover when the globe they bought will not go in. Warm 27003000K, around 700 to 1,000 lumens, enclosed-outdoor rated, and not supplied.

Can it go on an exposed gate pier?

It is at the edge of its rating. IP43 covers spraying water down to 60 from vertical, so rain from above is fine the ordinary case for something on a pier but driving rain arrives closer to horizontal and is outside it. It is also not rated for sprinkler overspray, which a post top on a low pier can catch. Ask us for an IP44 or IP65 alternative if the position is open.

Will it suit my pier?

At 485mm high and only 105mm across it is a tall, slim lantern quite different in proportion from the Siena spheres. The slimness suits a narrow pier where a wide sphere would look top-heavy, but half a metre of lantern needs a pier with some presence: on a low garden wall it can look out of scale, and a Siena sphere or a bollard may sit better.

Can I get the same lantern elsewhere?

Yes. The TURIN head is also a pillar mount fixed to the side of a column, a wall bracket on an S-arm, a pendant, and a single, twin or triple head on posts from 1.32 to 2.47 metres. One lantern across a property is what makes an exterior scheme look designed rather than accumulated.

How should I use them?

In pairs, either side of a gate. Symmetry is what makes a post top read as deliberate rather than as an afterthought.

Where is it made?

The die-cast aluminium and moulded acrylic components are made in Italy, and it is assembled and powder coated in Australia a local coating is easier to match if a section is ever replaced.
