The Domus CHESTER-LARGE wall bracket, straight arm facing up, holds the largeCHESTER lantern above a straight arm 350mm wide 655mmhigh, the tallest of the four LARGE brackets. Die-cast aluminium with amoulded acrylic lens, IP43, taking one B22 lamp.

This item is made to order

Domus builds this fitting to order and asks for up to 10 business days for productionbefore it ships. Order matched pairs together on brackets flanking a front door,a powder-coat mismatch between two orders is exactly what you would notice.

The tallest and the most formal of the four

• Straight arm, lantern above the most upright and formal combination in therange. Either side of a front door, a pair of these reads as composed rather than practical.
• Light goes up the wall as well as down, so the facade becomes part of the litsurface rather than a dark backdrop.
• Less light lands directly below. For a step or a threshold, the down-facing versionis the better tool and at 570mm it is also 85mm shorter.
• The lens is angled towards the eye, so a warm 911W B22LED matters more here than on a down-facing bracket.

This completes the CHESTER family 24 listings

Across the standard and LARGE ranges, one lantern design is sold in 24 listings:

• Standard CHESTER, 16 listings four wall brackets, a pillar mount, a post top,a chain pendant and nine post arrangements from 1.32 to 2.47m including twins and triples.
• CHESTER-LARGE, 8 listings four wall brackets, a pillar mount, a post top, achain pendant and one 2.45m post.
• No listing mentions any of the others.
• Which is the point of the range: the same design on the gate piers, the garage walland over the front door makes a property read as one scheme. Tell us the positions and we willquote the set.

No projection recorded, and no maximum wattage

• None of the four LARGE brackets records how far it stands off the wall. Ask us and we will measure one before a made-to-order lead time.
• No maximum lamp wattage anywhere in the CHESTER family, standard or large. B22 LED at 911W, warm, enclosed and damp rated.

There is a replacement lens for it

The Requires: Lamp GT-161 line is the CHESTER-LARGE series code the series has a GTA-161 replacement acrylic panel set sold separately. On anup-facing bracket the lens is angled towards the eye, so yellowing shows soonest here. Nothing extra isneeded to install it.

Where it works

• Either side of a front door, as a formal matched pair.
• Along a rendered or brick facade, washing the wall.
• Matched with CHESTER-LARGE pillar mounts and the 2.45m post across aproperty.
• Not for lighting a step use the down-facing version.
• Not under a low soffit at 655mm it is the tallest of the four.

Questions

Should I choose up-facing or down-facing?

What you want lit, and how formal it should look. Up-facing puts the lantern above the arm so light goes up the wall as well as down, making the facade part of the lit surface either side of a front door a pair reads as composed. Down-facing puts the lantern lower and closer to a step or a path, which is the better tool where people walk. One practical difference: this up-facing version is 655mm tall and the down-facing is 570mm, so under a low soffit the down-facing one may be the only one that fits.

How many CHESTER fittings are there in total?

Twenty-four listings across the standard and LARGE ranges, all built on one lantern design. Standard CHESTER is sixteen four wall brackets, a pillar mount, a post top, a chain pendant and nine post arrangements from 1.32 to 2.47m including twins and triples. CHESTER-LARGE is eight four wall brackets, a pillar mount, a post top, a chain pendant and one 2.45m post. No listing mentions the others, which is a shame: the same design on the gate piers, the garage wall and over the front door is what makes a property read as one scheme.

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 order worth doing before a ten-day production wait rather than discovering it on site.

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 the colour you choose after ordering, which is why five colours are offered rather than one. Order matched pairs together: on brackets flanking a front door, a powder-coat mismatch between two separate orders is exactly the thing you would notice.

Will it be glary beside a door?

It can be if you over-lamp it. The lantern sits above the arm and angled towards the eye, so you see more of the lit lens than on a down-facing bracket and at head height beside a door that is where glare comes from. A warm B22 LED at 911W around 3000K gives plenty of light without the lantern becoming the brightest thing on the facade.

What is the maximum lamp wattage?

Not recorded anywhere in the CHESTER family, standard or large not in a product field and not on any datasheet. We would fit a B22 LED at 911W, warm, rated for enclosed and damp use. Ask us before fitting anything above about 15W, and particularly before a halogen: a sealed acrylic lens is a poor place for heat.

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. It matters most on this configuration: an up-facing lens is angled towards the eye, so yellowed acrylic shows sooner here than anywhere else in the range. The acrylic is what fails; the cast aluminium body lasts decades.
